What tires do you have?
But yes. I've had a set of 33s on there for months and have received a bunch of emails, but no one has come to me with cash yet.

Yeah those wide tires will probably wear your stuff out quicker. Why are you running tires that wide?

Been running 33's on my D30's for a long time and have yet to break a shaft. Personally, I feel its all about how you drive. If you know you cannot negotiate that skinny pedal well, than I suggest upgrading axles. Otherwise you will be OK running the tire sizes with the D30.

It also needs to be said however, that's not to say they can't break. It really does all boil down to how you drive and how often. Odds are odds. Drive smart and you will enjoy em for a long time. IMO.

Did moody hill today in the most dysfunctional wheeling convoy ever, but thats how my group of friends roll. We had a TJ Rubicon on 35s, my XJ, and my brother in his POS-10 blazer, all stock with IFS.
That and my brother being, uh, inexperienced to put it nicely ended up with the Rubi using the winch a lot and this. He took the wrong line, and has no flex, open, and street tires. The pics don't do justice, if there was 5 lbs on his roof rack it would have gone over
