Anything much bigger than 35s and youll need to upgrade your axles to 3/4 ton at least ( if your not a 3/4 ton already) unless its just a mall crawler and wont ever se offroading.

Put any real stress on those little axles with 36s and your gonna break axles.

that is assuming the power plant has enough power to break them. the engine was never described and depending on what and how old it is, might not put enough power to the rear to break anything.
