I get it, but that seems bassackwards to me. First, spending $25k on an LS swap to run 35’s seems a bit stupid to me personally, although I’m sure others will disagree. When I’m at the point of spending $25k on a motor swap, the rest of my rig would already be built up (including the axles) to turn heavy rubber. That is, of course, unless I was doing it all at once in which case an extra $13k for the difference in strength would be well worth the price of admission.
I’m pretty sure I helped part out the Jeep from Eddie’s pic of the high speed roll (off of a highway) due to the SF failure and I’ve had a beer or two with the owner a few times. $13k is worth not going through what he went through. Nothing is bombproof and nothing is perfectly safe, but this just doesn’t seem like an area to be pinching pennies when high horsepower, high speed (in part from having high end suspensions), or heavy rubber is involved.

I know it’s hard for most to imagine, but when spending $25k on an engine swap this is a much more manageable option than dropping another $13k+ on axles. We actually do have a lot of customers that want nothing more than 35’s or 37’s on their JK’s after the LS swap, so this is a great option for them.
