37" tire necessities

We all have different driving styles and needs. I've been running a 3.5" Rk lift for 7 months and 37" nittos for 2 without any worries. I've put about 5,000 miles on my jkur with the 37s. I've had no ill side effects. I'll eventually add gussets but I'm not sure of anything else. It's pretty flat here along the coast and I manage fine with my 4.10 gears and average about 14 city and 17 highway.

After a year with a 4 inch lift and 37's, I did get to the point I made replacing my driveshaft a priority. But it isn't something you have to do right away. In fact, I replaced mine because i was getting the angry bird chirping. Turns out, it wasn't the front driveshaft and I could have probably gone another year without replacing.

Now if I go 37's and get those chromoly axle shafts too in the rear will my 5.13 gears in the rear Dana 44 be my weak point??? I was told that but I myself am no expert..... Thx

Ok if I go chromoly .... do I still risk bending a FLANGE?? Or does that part get stronger with the chromoly axle shafts ?
