Default Am i being a panzi ?

I just put in a new set of 35x12.50 R15 GY MTRs w/Kevlar on 15x8" cragar soft 8s.... they fit and look great. my AEV Procal should be here any day now... I am "pussy footing" the gas with these new tires, going a lot light on the gas...not accelerating like i did with the stock rubi set up i had. my question is, can i get on the gas like normal like i did with the rubi set up? o never "hammered" the gas, but since i have no real work gearing wise or axel wise, im driving like little miss daisy talk to me guys....

I believe he is asking if he is going to brake anything by pushing hard on the gas since he has not changes axles or gears for this tire upgrade. On a Rubicon the D44 front and rear you will be fine to go full throttle at anytime at which you are not bouncing the jeep. The d44 can be broken with 35's if you are out wheeling and doing some big bounces while on the throttle. Thats about it.

Ok, but I'm pretty sure I have d30s front and rear, since I bought a 2009 X model. 3.73 gears.

You will have a d30 front and a d44 rear should be fine as long as you don't bounce it hard when giving it to much skinny pedal, I'm getting 35's for mine ASAP and I have d30 front and d44 rear with 3.21 gears lmao and I'm going to giver shit every chance I get lol
