If you sleeve, gusset, and buy upgraded shafts for your Dana 30, it will handle your 35s with no problems--maybe even 37s if you are easy on the skinny pedal and don't use your front locker too much.
I'm very interested in doing this myself when I finally get my Rubi if I'm not going to be able to afford the 4" lift that I want along with the rest that comes with running 37s.

Just curious why 37s? I am doing a 2.5" tera kit, Flatties and 35s... don't see why I'd want 37s? is there a reason other than cause I can?

1" in increased height/2" in total diameter really makes that much difference? (asking seriously) I have never run 37s.

Neoxxis I am talking a comparisson between 35s and 37s

Planman ya I follow that but the the difference between 35s and 37s isn't much on tape or visually, so I was just curious if on the trail there was that much of a benefit I am guessing you have wheeled both?
