OP, Get your rachet and a TIGHT bolt (preferably a skid plate bolt under your jeep) now hold the ratchet very close to the socket and try REAL hard to break the bolt loose, it wont budge, now move your hand out 2.5" from the socket and try again REAL hard, if it breaks loose :clap2: tighten it back up and move to another bolt, regardless, now move your hand out another 2.5" from the socket (5" total) and try to break loose the bolt, pretty easy. -> this is exactly whats going on with bigger tires on an axle, Leverage :shock: Your hand on the wrench represents where your tire hits the ground, and breaking the bolt loose represents breaking your axle... crude but very real example of the difference in forces 5" can make. (That's what she said?)
