HE can also look into Chromoly axles or RCVs for the from D30. I have the Chromolys in my front D30 and I'm running 36's.

Maybe a built rig with 35s will be the limit cause from what you guys are telling me its not worth it to go bigger. What's the point if I don't have fun wheelin it:) I have lectures today but I'll cut the list and repost tonight and get some opinions. So I'll look into cobra cbs. Would i just order something like that at CVO?

Just checked the breathers are up in the wheel wells front and rear behind the liner for the diff breathers. So I should be fine? The one in the rear is horribly low and should be moved; that being said if you are in water to the tops of the tires you will have other problems. Do a google on water crossings and JK's and you will see the air intake issues. Someone mentioned not needing a snorkel, on JK's you need something IF you are fording deep water OR splashing a lot in shallow water. We started out stock, then 33's, and finally 35's. The 33's were enough to do most of the trails and still have some challenges; 35's and lockers made all except 3 or 4 trails easy. We are now back to a new stock JK and its staying that way at least for the time being.

They are relitively inexpensive if I get the river raider which extends all the hoses to the top of the engine bay. Any thoughts? I think it's like $80.

If you end up in water, don't post pics. See the thread in the Pics and Video section.

Go to crappy tire and get some 3/8 rubber gas line and nipples or whatever it is and extend them that way. It's MUCH CHEAPER!

Just kidding. I am not sure how high they are in the JK's but extend them at least to the same level as the hood (visualize for the rear) In the TJs the rear goes up into the gas cap area just as a reference. You can put them anywhere you want. I wouldn't recommend putting them in the cabin though, you may get some nasty diff fluid fumes.
