But if the weight between 35s and 37s is only a few pounds per tire, where is the greater strain coming from? My 35" falkens weigh 7lbs more per wheel/tire combo than the 33" falkens on steel oem wheels (an option you can order at the dealer). So it seems like the JT with 4.10 can handle the extra load.

OEM Rubicon Alloy Wheels: 23lbs (post 15 in this thread)
Falken Wildpeak M/Ts LT285/75/17 - 61.3lbs each (63.9lbs in said reference thread as on the scale but if those were the A/Ts those are stated to weigh 62.8lbs for the C load and 58.9 for the D load)
Falken Wildpeak M/Ts 35x12.5x17 - 79.6lbs each
Falken Wildpeak M/Ts 37x12.5x17 - 81.8lbs each

So stock Rubicon puts you at about 86lbs at each corner. 96lbs if on steel wheels.
35s put you at 103lbs at each corner. That is 17lbs more than factory, 7lbs more if you got the steel rims
37s put you at 105lbs at each corner, an increase of 9/19lbs depending on rim.

What am I missing?
It's more about tire rotation than and wheel height than weight. Although weight does play a small factor,not as much as Wheel height.

@Alabama Mud Machine beat me to it.
