38's are a bit much for stock axles. Be prepared to replace parts often

hey guys thanks for the replies, but no its not a DD, its just a toy now days. and as far as geares and axles, the gears im gonna prob put 4.88s in on down the road, and the axles im gonna wait till it breaks and then upgrade them lol, might as well use the stocks until they cant take it.

But so lift wise you guys agree that they should clear? measurement wise it clears. oh and im not gonna be crawlin with it anymore, just gonna be mud/hill climb/trails.

38's are gonna eat those axles up much faster then you think... save yourself the headache of a breakdown out on the trail and just swap axles first.. its not that involved
