I havent really had "problems" but I have noticed a lesser power with these compared to 33's. In high gear climbing. They look great though.

35's with 4" superlift, I also put on adj front and rear control arms, and adj rear track bar.
No problems, besides needing to regear for more power.

I got the same torn boot on a recent off road trip. Dealer told me "there's evidence you've been off road..." and tried to give me a hard time. Said Chrysler doesn't have a part number for just the boot, so has an entire driveshaft on order for me...

"Evidence you've been off road?????" Maybe they didnt see the "Trail Rated" badging.

No problems with the 35's; except that I wish I had gotten 37's. I probably will eventually but not until I can swwing and ORO AiRock so my wife won't tweak her knee any further getting in and out.

I knew that when I went to 35's gears would be needed so I installed 5.13's. I think most of the time people have problems with 35's or 37's it because they don't acknowledge, up front, what will be needed beyond bigger rubber. 35's or 37's without gears, adjustable control arms and after market driveshafts is asking for trouble.

Thumbs up 1 Week and no problems!

I've just put on 315/70R17s BFG AT KOs. I have slightly more than a 2.5" lift via Old Man Emu coils and shocks. I have an adjustable front track bar and a Rancho steering stabilizer. So far everything clears find both front and rear and the trucks rides and tracks smooth and straight. No bumpsteer, no pulling, no wobbles. Now, I've only got a couple of humdred miles under my belt, but thus far, A-Okay! Note: The BFGs are mounted on 8.5" wide AEV wheels and the "measured" tire height is maybe a tad over 33.5 inches, so while BFG says a 315/70R17 is 34.5, mine is measuring smaller. I also bought a Pro Comp Accu Pro and adjusted my speedo. The Accu Comp worked like a charm and my shifts are nice and crisp.
