i know a few guys that run that set up and they haul with no problems.

Articulation = flex
Towing = stiff
I just don't see a lotta rock crawlers towin.
Are ya crawlin or towing?
52's aren't such a problem, just lotsa work to install.

great if ya REALLY need the flex
If just wheelin, flip, but the added stress on rear hangers when towing....
You could reinforce hangers w/ some .125" plate.
Now if you're just towing a lil load to the dump, no problems but what if ya gotta swerve or some other evasive maneuver.....
soft tire sidewalls are bad enough.

I see peeps driving w/ a load of wood w/ the rear bumper draggin & the headlights angled for squirrel hunting. They seem to haul fine until something happens. I sure the heck don't wanna be around it when an overloaded p/u starts fishtailing.
