According to the O'rielly's employee who felt the need to argue, 37" tires cause less wear on things such as (in my case) front hub assemblies. His reasoning was the fact that 37" tires turn slower than the smaller OEM size.
Just stating what the "pros" told me.....

I have a 2011 jk 6 speed with 100k miles. Running 37 Nitto mud graps. It's also my daily haha. I have a 4.5 aev lift kit. Never really had any problems with it. Engine is still running strong. You might want to look into beefing up your axles a bit. I got a 4.88 re gear so I'm now able to keep up with highway traffic. I put roughy 850+ miles a month on my jeep. Lots of daily traveling.

OEM ball joints are way better than those junk Synergy ones. Don't waste your money on them like I did, unless you like them to wear out after a year or even less.

I just bought my Synergy Balljoints and have hopes that any of the legacy issues are taken care of. But if not, it's not a big deal because I'll just make Chuck The Ripper change mine in under 2 hours for nothing but a case of cheep beer!

Actually, there seems to have been a period where the Synergy Balljoints were having very rapid failure and it was captured on multiple forums by multiple end users. I don't think that the issue is still current, but it was there. I just bought my Synergy Balljoints and have hopes that any of the legacy issues are taken care of.

Could overpay for dynatrac also.
I'm willing to bet most people with issues with Synergy these days don't perform proper maintenance on them either. It's funny more people recommend them then don't. More people don't have issues with them then don't.
