    1. When you are in the air, stay off the gas.

    2. Don't mash the skinny in mixed traction conditions (gravel to asphalt, dirt to rocks, etc)

    3. Build steady, smooth power.

    I have almost 50K miles with 37's, and haven't broken anything. I did replace my wheel bearings right before I put them on, but they are still in great shape. I also replaced my wheel studs with ARP's. I could see those being the weak link for sure, as I broke several of them with 33's. Anyone that's been on a run with me knows I am not easy on my shit, I just know how to be a good wheelman. That said, I wouldn't want to race it like this. If I was rich I would have a good 9" rear with a better driveline, better steering rack, built TH400R trans and a healthy V8 under the hood. As it is it works pretty good though...
