I just put some swamp witches on my br. I was wondering how the rear end and shaft is gonna hold up to these tires. I also put new 12" rims and tires are 26x12x12

The rear end will hold up just fine... Skiffy and Mondex here on the boards have been running big tires for awhile now... Skiffy has 30" on his...

Well heaver and bigger tires over time will wear out the drive gears in the rear end... I seen it done many of times its just a matter of time.

If im not mistaken the BR rear end uses Bevel or Hypoid gears like automotive a lot stronger than worm drive or spur gears or Helical
