Yeah.

Housings are identical FWIW

 

Right on. So I'll go that route then. I'd be open to an axle swap, but I feel like it might be a little too much for just 35s. And I'd go 37s, but I like driving this around town and I wouldn't want to drive 37s around.

Thanks for the help guys

 

you can DD 37s just fine. my buddy drove his 1 ton XJ on 40s an hour on the highway to and from work a couple times a week during the summer.

 

Well I'd mainly not be wanting to wear down the tread since I'm assuming they're expensive tires. Still a possibility though.

 

Not his red's, did he lol?

 

this thing

 

Ah. I thought you were talking about Chris'. Expensive DD, but gah it's sexy.

So I think I might cage the Jeep first.. I don't really want to just get rid of working axles. If I for some reason come across a set of used 35s, how bad would it be if I put them on my rig as it sits? Of course I wouldn't wheel until I get regeared and reinforced a bit, but I'm just curious. I've seen threads where people drive (sluggisly) on stock gears with 35s. I also have to double check what gears I'm running now, since even with 33s, it's not bad at all. People say they're sluggish on stock/33s, but I still kick into OD or whatever that is when you floor it. Or is that normal? I bought this slightly lifted, locked, with some other stuff, so I guess it's possible. I just have to make sure before I put money in.

 

Put them on and try it. Heavy 33s blew *** when i was on stock gears but I have a manual.

 

I think I might if I come across a set of tires. I think my 8.25 would break before the D30, since I have chromo up front and I wouldn't wheel right away. So if the 8.25 breaks, I'll just plan on converting it to a 29 spline.

 

37's and its my dd...

 

Looks nice. I just can't get over DDing 37s. How do they wear?

 

ah nice you got it together! I must've missed some updates in your build thread. looks great! what gears?

they wear like any other tire. just because they're bigger doesnt mean they wear faster

his are militaries though so who cares they're cheap as hell

 

37s don't really wear any worse than 35s if you rotate them and keep them aired properly. Chalk the tires and test the patterns on blacktop and run whatever PSI gives you the best pattern for even wear.
