upgrading to 37"s some ???
OK im pulling the trigger and going from 35"s to 37"s. I know im gonna have to re-gear and im gonna go for 5.13 ratio, i have a 2008 4door auto. now i have been reading that i might have to beef up my axles for handle to weight of the larger tires (Nitto Trail grapplers) I found Artec Industries JK 07-13, Front Axle ARMOR KIT on north ridge, now would that work or/and what else do i need? i have read a ton of stuff but i want to get everything down so i have an idea in my head? im just basically wondering about everything im gonna need to make it all work properly without buying a brand new axle ha
in advance thank you

I have the Artec kit on mine (great kit) I would also recommend replacing your ball joints with something nicer than stock while the armor is getting installed.

Drive it first with the current gears and if you dont like the way it drives add gears. before even thinking about putting those tires on your stock axles gusset your axle c's. Those things will bend pavement or no pavement
