Lift is there. You can add control arms if wanted, or just slap the 37s under it. Driveshafts are likely different, as well as skid plates. Driveshaft necessity is unknown, Transfer case as weak link, also unknown.1. SCENARIO A - Max out at 37" tires
I assume the Dana 44 will hold out fairly okay assuming I don't go crazy. In which case, I assume the below mods are all i need/want for non extreme rock crawling:
A. WinchB. Lift kit (leaning towards Metal Cloak)C. 37" tiresD. Skid platesE. Adam's Part or Tom's front and rear drive shaftF. Reinforced tailgate for the larger tires
Is the transfer case a weak area that needs to be replaced? Should anything else be replaced or reinforced?
I know some folks might suggest re-gearing when moving up to 37" even with the standard 3.6 Pentastar, but the good news/bad news the 392 has way more torque and horsepower. I had/have a stick so I assume the "new" 8 speed automatic paired with the 392 will feel 100 times better.
A, C, D (when available) and F would put your rig far more capable than most.
