I have 36's with no rubing Do yall think I can get away with 38's?

If you never use your transfer case you might squeak by... otherwise stick to 33"s with the stock independant front ssuspensionhardware.

You'll have front axle problems with anything bigger than what youve got. If you want to go with 38s, go SFA and swap the rear axle.

I wouldnt be suprised if you snap a half shafts if you do any heavy offroading with your current setup.

Honestly I have never had any problems, I do some hard rock crawling. All I did was regear with lockers.

So he's running 36s fine, and you tell him to stick with 33s

Typo Maybe?

yeah you might want to be extra carefull if you go much bigger.. your axle torque will keep increasing as your titre size increases and eventually you will have to take the long walk...
home..

you might want to start looking at a SFA.

just an opinion
