order a 17 inch big brake kit from mrblaine at Black Magic Brakes
The problem lies with the ball joints (assuming you are still on a TJ 44s). The leverage a 37" has will wear out the ball joint seats to the point a ball joint will fall out.
Do you ever stop being a fuckwit? The entire reason I make and sell a brake kit for 37's on stock axles is not everyone wheels where they need tires that size, lots of folks are far more delicate than we are when it comes to wheeling and even if they are not delicate, some of them folk drive on the street where it is not only possible but likely some fool with engage them with the need for a panic stop at some point. A big brake kit that works is cheap insurance at that point. I even make one for 40's using all the same logic.
Lowers get loose quickly on any tire size. They are not bad unless they have more than 1/16" vertical play.
There are a few "contributors" on this forum that never post anything of value and seem to exist solely to be contrarian. I'm not sure why they hang out, but Its something I've been noticing more and more.
It’s not just this forum. That’s something I’ve not on nearly every message board I’ve ever been on. Someone always wants to play devils advocate.
I'll sometimes play devil's advocate. But I don't die on that hill like some here will do. It's almost like they believe their BS.
You can, however, have the driver side tie rod link "flipped" so it goes in the knuckle from the top, versus the bottom. That may give you the extra clearance you're looking for. Blaine can even do that for you when ordering. Keep in mind, you'll also have to raise your sway bar brackets (yes plural, because... why would you do only one side?) to accommodate the end link going in from the top. Oh and, conveniently, Blaine sells those too.
