Thx! I've been using it. Super helpful
While that poke looks cool, it comes at costs.
Added stress on your components and mud, rocks, road salts, and slop thrown all over the sides and fenders. Not to mention flinging rocks up in the air front of you for your windshield to deal with.

Well this may be first Jeep but I've had trucks for the last 13 years and all of em had an aggressive stance. Maybe I've been lucky but I've never really noticed all the costs you listed or maybe I've just gotten so used to it I don't know any better. Either way I'm gonna roll the dice again:).

Okay man - that's incredibly cool!! Thx for the pic! I'm getting more and more tempted to pull the trigger on the -38s I'm looking at... Thx again!
You won’t regret it. We went -6 on the wife’s JLU and she wishes she would have went -38 with beadlocks now. Mine has Dynatrac ball joints so the extra stress isn’t a concern. The factory jointed balls are absolute garbage and will need to be replaced regardless of - or + offset. In the end get what makes you happy.

With factory being +44 a -38 will put you 82 mm out. No thanks for me.

So does that mean -38 offset would push out farther on my sport?

I do have the HD Dana 44s...
Should look exactly the same unless the fenders are wider on yours. I don’t think so though
