Thinking about running 37s on my JK. Will this be a problem for my stock axle?
Short answer is yes, unless you have a pavement princess. It may not fail right away, but it will eventually fail.
I took a bounce with my 37's over a seemingly normal pile of rocks recently and gave it a little too much gas...which quickly resulted in a broken rear axle shaft....
how would you know. It's not like yours running 37's on a d30 with an ARB locker. Who in their right mind would do that?
I'm running 37's on stock axles an are doing just fine , I have a truss going on along with steering upgrades , I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent solution I have aleaady blown a ring an pinion an im now in the middle of a 1 ton swap

How is already blown a ring and pinon running on stock axles doing fine? :thinking:
Blowing a R&P and doing just fine don't sound mutually exclusive. Ha!!! :brows:
Congrats on the ton swap. That, along with steering assist, really are great for peace of mind.
Was your D44 beefed up at all or stock?
I have D44s and 37s. I've personally never had a problem (knock on wood), but I also always use as little gas as possible on all obstacles. I have been on runs though where I've seen both; axle shafts snap and blown ring and pinions. It'll work.....for a while. How long depends on terrain and the skinny pedal.
