Does the Third Brake light no longer fit with 37's or did they not put it back on?

Zee, can you tell me how much height you got with the mopar lift on the Rubicon? Looks great with 37’s. Also, do you have to change anything else??

@ZeeCutt first of all your jeep looks fantastic! I have the exact color combination rubicon coming my way soon. I was wondering if you could tell us how far the tires stick out past the fenders?

You'll probably want/need to fit a HD/adjustable tire mount, like their Mopar hinge carrier kit (see green JLUR above).

I figured that. So suspension and drivetrain wise, you don't have to upgrade or modify anything else to run 37s? Thanks

Ok, i will try to answer all the questions:

First off, thank you for the compliments but unfortunately this is not my Jeep, mine wont be in for another 3-4 weeks, seriously feels like waiting for Christmas when i was 5. This Jeep belongs to a mechanic at the Jeep Store, he just finished it last night....

@Cwu21 - The MOPAR light extension kits isnt avaialable yet, however, he still had the stock one on there, it has a little adjustment and it almost works on the 37" tire, just a little short., should work on the 35"

@mbuck45 - i think it definitely added a full 2" on the Rubi over stock.. after seeing 2 of these kits now with 37's i am convinced that your 35's will have a plenty of room and you will get a full 2"'s... that said, i haven't measured them to verify.

@tmakaro - They stick out about 1.5"... i think he used the 1.5" TerraFlex wheel spacers. Looks pretty good, only concern is that the stock rim is so narrow and really pinches down those 37's... a 9" wheel or greater would really open up a wider tire much better.

Take this for what its worth, both the service manager and mechanic who just added this 2" lift and 37's and drove it around quite a bit, felt like the combo of the 4:10's and new 8 speed make 37's on a JL far more plug and play than the JK... the lift is mild and doesn't change the geometry a ton and the the drivetrain has no problem turning the tires and wheels, this coming from guys who used to gear down their JK's with 37's...

That's great to hear, I test drove a brand new 2017 jk sport with a 3 inch lift and 37s and it didn't feel stable at all, I kinda had to fight to keep it straight, would this be a similar issue with a JLUR with similar setup?

someone posted some pics of stock

go check it out and drive it, i would love your thoughts... I drove it Saturday. See what you think of how the 37’s look on a 2”. I have the same concern of a 35” on 2”... 35’s almost look a little on the small side. I showed my 10 year daughter a pic of a 35” on 2” lift and she said “it looks a little funny dad, tires might be to small”... LOL. Gotta love the honesty of kids.
Are you in Boise .... or is there a Larry H Miller in UT as well? I'm guessing they have on in UT too and this isn't at the Dealership I go to lol :(

My dealer told me tonight they can't flash the speedo for 35s. They said they use aftermarket programmers for the JKs they've done.

Can dealers do it, but mine just doesn't know how? Are there any programmers out for the JL yet? Maybe my dealer does it their way to sell expensive programmers?

My 35s arrived at Discount Tire today, so I'm ready to install, but want the speedo to be right.

I would post that in the ask-a-dealer thread? they are supposed to be able to without a tuner chip.
