I was skeptical of running with HD TRs for the reasons you mentioned Fubar, however after having HD TRs for 3 Moab trips I now agree with Phil. I was also skeptical about 37s and it was actually the HD TRs that convinced me to go that direction too.

The stock TRs bend like twigs (especially with 37s) and you can literally see them bending sometimes vs. the HD TRs that are rock solid. The original TRs are from a 2500 Suburban platform thus they were never designed to take the stress of hard wheeling and 37s so they simply bend because they are only ½ inch thick.

As far as breaking something else upstream it’s all driver, if you don’t know when to stop gassing it stuff breaks, period. Sometimes momentum is your best friend but knowing when and how to use it is what separates people.

Personally I’ve given mine a lot of abuse over the years and never had a single mechanical failure other than a snapped TR in 2003 (I think there maybe a video about it ). I’ve replaced my stock Idler/Pitman and TRs with HD Fabtech parts and added 37s and that’s it everything else are my original stock parts (other than a cracked front diff in 2003).

Yes, the best demonstration of momentum is when you went up tipover.
