Actually yes it has a better chance of holding up. Your the one that said it makes zero difference which is inaccurate and that's all he was pointing out. It makes very little difference is probably a more accurate statement.

No one probably would have responded to you if you had not first come on here with insults in the first place. There was no need for that kind of crap.

He is implying that its safer to do 100 in a jk because his axles are reinforced like it makes one half ounce of difference.

But you said NOBODY. You meant to say OP? I mean come on....just say what you mean. We can't read your mind. We're all retarded right? What I'm getting from all your posts is that a reinforced axle isn't really stronger. You should probably let all the companies out there making sleeves and c gussets know that they're wasting everybody's money.

Lol just saying when i got my d44 trussed, the steering was more predictable as in my jk felt more like driving a pickup truck vs a mini van. The draglink sector shaft brace made steering more precise for my '12 JKUR. That being said my top speed was 109mph and that was accidental goin down hill and on another episode, i caught a nasty airborn jump in the dunes by accident and landed hard on my front axle. I would say the truss helped the front axle tubes from bending upon landing my jump in the dunes and stability going over 100mph on the highway!

I can cruise at 75 without any hiccups, the new shift points after accounting for the 37s is a game Changer. It gave all the drive ability back to the jeep and I'm currently getting 17+mpg highway. I'll regear at somepoint but even the AEV procal made a huge difference

THIS!! Change the shift points and speedometer. 2016 Rubi with 4" MC GameChanger and 37.5 Open Country. Trip from Houston around the Gulf Coast to Florida's Atlantic coast and back. Averaged 18 mpg Running 26 psi in the tires and it rides great..... also has 6 packs on it.

What does the 6 pack shock have to do with it? Do you think you are impressing people by saying you have 6 pack shocks in just about every post you do?

Take the shocks off your jeep and see how it rides. Now understand that different shocks will create a different ride.

This is a different thread. Maybe this individual is only reading this thread. He may not have the free time that you have to peruse all the threads on this forum.

I am giving the OP my opinion and info. If this info does not suit your requirements then that is no fault of mine.

The OP is asking about gearing and motor swaps for running 37's , nothing about shocks or ride quality.

Why would I take my shocks off?
