trannys, hubs, ujoints, axle shafts, internal parts(ring and pinion), ball joints, tie rod..etc.. if you just run around on the street probably bee just fine. If you wheel it hard at all expect to break things... Trust be i wheel weekly and fairly hard and i break stuff all the time. (just ask around haha... )

Haha. Well my mudding hole just got shut down so as of right now i have no where to play. So right now im pretty much a pavement pounder. I wouldnt mind the look of the hugh tires while im looking for a new place to tear up. If i put the 37's on and stayed mostly on the road with the stock axels how would i do. Just until i get the money to get the danas i need

Trust me you don't want to run 37's until you get 4.88 gears and Dana 60's. I break axle shafts just going down the highway. And my truck is a dog to get moving (and I have 3.92) gears. Also you won't be able to turn the steering wheel from lock to lock with out rubbing. You need no less than 6 to keep from hitting the wheel wells at full lock

He's pretty handy with a wrench.
Also even with 35's I would still try to find a spare set of axle shafts and hub assemblies, and keep them on hand always. They are a necessity if you want to run 37's even strictly on the highway. Also keep multiple spare ujoints on hand(axle and driveshafts)
