should i get 38's?

[FlexdXJ]

stick to 33s and 4.5"

:wstupid: That seems to work nicely right between the Low COG guys and the higher COG guys.

Yeah, way too much work to make 38"s realistic on an XJ. You'd be about $5 grand and 100 man-hours into it by the time you were done.

I run 38s with 9" of lift with Rockkrawler LAs... I have a 8.8 with a aussie and yukon shafts and 4.56 and A D30 in the front with a aussie and warn conv to hubs...also the steering is easy make ur own 1 ton steering with a durango box and brace everything....and mine works great!!!


And NO you wont have 5k in it....

D30 with an Aussie and 38s? Sounds slightly umm...yeah...

I'm runnin 35's on regeared stock D30 and C8.25 no probs. But i don't tend to put my foot in it very much, more of a finesse kinda wheeler... 38's though, locked on a D30... It'd have to be beefed up quite a bit, (sleved, trussed, tubes welded, ect ect.) to get me to trust that axle on the trail.

Add on retubed, diff swapped to a D44 or larger, alloys, etc etc...

And I bet that 4.56's bring the suck with 38's too! Need 5.13's for them things! or you know Portals. :dunno:

if you want a well set-up rig to handle those tires it will have 5k into it if not more.

of course you can cut corners ,have an unreliable rig and/or baby it on the trails and it will cost you less
