Idk if double posting is going to help.. Try the search function or hit google... Also, it's not just oversized tires that will kill your 35, it's also in how hard you wheel it. Hard on the throttle will bust a lot of axles, regardless of tire size. Just sayin..

Here's mine. 5.5 Rubicon express with 32s. Also an extra 1 inch body lift up front to compensate weight of the motor.
