Now I'm kinda worried...... Maybe should have gone 37"
which always leaves me wondering about when they say 37's may be too much for your stock dana30. Are they talking about tires that say 37 on the side, or ones that actually ARE 37"????

Because I want a rig that will get me home, the 35s work great for me. 37s raise the reliability stakes so its a question of how much you want to bet ?

not a dumbass at all. I think that is the general consensus. But how misleading to those of us who shell out for 35's.
