So you are running 39s with stock axles, steering and gears? And you are gonna wheel it like this? I look forward to following how this works out for you.
If this is true (39's with stock axles, steering and gears), and you're gonna wheel it, I predict bad things (as in breaking) will happen. And the 1 lower MPG with the 39's is hard to believe.

I hope it all works out but I'm staying tuned

I hope you have zero issues spinning those 39's on stock everything but I'm not optimistic.

From the interwebs (there are many like these and stories from those who've done it):
"Using a larger than stock tire puts a lot of stress on the drive train parts. It takes more power and torque to rotate that larger tire. That means, the drive train, U-joints, drive shafts and axles, take the brunt of that force."

Do you have pictures of the rig flexed so we can see the tire/fender clearances?

I bought these a few months ago, so far, so good I have wheeled a couple of King of Hammers trails out in Johnson Valley, no problems, that said - I've seen a few folks I follow on Instagram who run these blow their rear ring and pinion, not right away but over time. Front ring and pinion, even on 40's seems to be holding up.

I'm about to order a semi-float dana 60, 40 spline so that I can wheel these with no concerns.
