What do you think about running pitbull Rockers ( 37/12.50R17 ) on JK axles. Do think these tires are to heavy at 90lbs each for my axles.
Thanks for any info.

Youre the best one to answer that with the info u posted. Don't know if you have 44's, if youve beefed them up, what you use your rig for, etc. That being said, those are heavy tires. I'd skip em & my 44's have sleeves, gussets & chromo axleshafts. 1310 DS. It sees a lot of rocks, mtn & desert. I thought the toyo/nitro were a heavy tire, IIRC they're 83 lbs each.

So wait, your being hesitant to run 37's on a PR44? Whats the hold up?

I've run those for a season with beadlocks, 134lb/corner. A trussed, gussets, sleeved D44 w/ OEM shafts up front and chromoly shafts in rear. OEM flange bent in the rear. Mostly rock style trails. I'm moderate to slightly aggresive on the skinny pedal use. I do carry axle and driveshaft trail spares. You'll most likely be fine, just don't act utterly surprised and scream profanities at baby Jesus if something eventually goes awry.

Horrible idea. It just won't work...

They are heavy as hell, and are loud, and don't ride so awesome on the pavement, but they work great.

I love my 35s on a 44/30 combo but I have blown up quite a few front axle shafts with them, no problems in the rear. I think they are an awesome tire on and off the road with pretty good tread life for such an aggressive tire.

I love mine too. We run 2 Jeeps and a Ram pickup on 35s.

I've been running mine for about a year. No issues on the the front with a sleeved / gusseted factory 44 with RCVs.

On the rear, I have bent flanges on chromo shafts like it is going out of style. Finally got fed up and ordered a RJ 60.

37" with Raceline bead locks...

I miss my rocker radials. They just didn't offer anything between 37 and 41.5 so I went toyo. I ran rockers on gusseted 44s with no problem. You might want to upgrade rear shafts as they hook up almost too well at times.
