Was there any case of a front diff going boom w/out using the 4LO option? Most of my wheeling is high speed and Im contemplating getting 37s once my tires wear down, and in my past 20+ wheeling trips I never used the 4LO button. (Most of the wheeling is done on loose sand so its momentum and a big tire contact patch is what I need instead of torque reduction)

Long story short, it usually happens when 1 or both front tires are spinning and suddenly get traction.

I still think 37 is a bit much for the front suspension and drive train Jmho. I know others are doing it but....

Get wide tires like 35x14.5x16 or 17in rims if you don't need 4lo you shouldn't need 37s.
Thats my other issue, tire availability (had to change up to a 17" wheel so I can get 35s locally). But I didn't think of this as my other option though, will do now.
