do u encounter any issues with this backspacing of 3.75? people have said it wears out the bearings in a rapid state. you have any thoughts

Well, my jeep has 188,000 miles on it. As far as I know it still has the stock wheel bearing and ball joints. I did notice that my tires are wearing funny in the front, but that is only because my old tires were already worn pretty well, and did not show what was wrong.

So no, I haven't noticed any increase in wear on my stuff.( but I only have about 2,000 miles with these wheels/tires) I don't really want to replace anythingon my axles, because I plan on swapping in a D30 from a 1995+ Cherokee with WJ brakes, and a Ford8.8 in the rear for it's discs and strength.

I do not know my back spacing. Mine are just 10" craigers. I do not have any issuse. I have been driving and beating it off road for almost a year and no problems. It is also an 89 so its older too.
