35" and 37" JL pics with lift kit

[FLECK-5]

Those of you running 37's. Did you loose 8th gear?

I’ve only had my 37’s for 300 miles but it seems to only get in 8th when everything’s perfect (flat ground, no wind, not accelerating, etc.).

I was quoted 1695 for mopar lift installed. Seems like a great deal based on these prices.

That’s a really great deal. Mine was $2,050 installed. Speedometer calibration, alignment were extra.

Few pics from this weekend. Really happy with the decision to go with 37’s.

Love those wheels! I'm persuaded from a local shop to use Method wheels but I really do love the look of those wheels! (I'm going with 315/70R17's).

In the 35’s versus 37’s debate, one thing to keep in mind is that the Rubicon has the high fenders and the other models do not. The Rubicon high fenders sit 1” higher than the standard fenders, which means you can fit a 2” taller tire with the same fender gap. If you are planning on putting a lift and bigger tires, it’s my opinion that 35’s look small on a Rubicon with 2” lift because of the high fenders. When I lifted my Jeep, I browsed this forum extensively looking at pictures and thought the lifted Rubicons with 35’s looked disproportionate. So, if you are planning on lifting your Jeep and getting bigger tires, it’s my opinion that Moab, Sahara, and Sport = 35’s and Rubicon = 37’s, assuming a 2” Mopar lift.

I went with 37’s on my Rubicon and it looks proportionate but they are a big tire. My Jeeplooks pretty sweet though.

thanks- this is what I was thinking as well. I've got the MOAB so it makes alot of sense to stick at 35's.

A local shop recommended using the Teraflex 3.5 ST3 system but I wonder if that will give a bit too much room between fender and tire to make it look disproportionate. Any opinion on that? It's a bit more expensive too. I was originally thinking about the RC 2.5 lift since alot of people have done it. I'd almost like to find something in between the two as far as cost goes

If you’re going with 35’s, I’d stick with the 2 1/2” lift you were loking at.

I’ve been meaning to post up here. I’m running 37x12.5x17 STT Pros mounted on 17x9 ATX Ravines with -12mm offset. I have a 2.5” Rough Country spacer kit.

Mopar 2” Lift
Method MR606 20x10 -24 offset
Cooper STT Pro 37x13.5r20

Rides fantastic. Mopar lift is stellar. Slightly noticeable difference in acceleration as well as braking with the 37s. Stoked with the setup.

Rancho 2" suspension lift, MotoMetal 20x10 -24 offset & Cooper SST Pro 33x13.50 20's.

Loving all the pictures. Seems like 37's are more and more popular. How are people's experiences with 37's on the new JL in terms of engine performance and overall drive city/highway? Are 37's fine on stock components or should you start looking at upgrading drivetrain, etc with 37's?

I have the Teraflex 3.5” ST3 LIFT WITH 37’S. I don’t know if it’s the lift compared to others, but my ride is great and I reach 8th gear regularly. Of course when you step on the gas it shifts. I have kept the gearing and axles stock, no need to upgrade. Maybe down the line but as of now, it drives and performs great. (No rock crawling)

Gas mileage isn’t great but I only drive city around 15-16 (I didn’t buy it for the mpg)

Great looking rig!!! Turned out nice!

Looks amazing - perfect stance! how much heavier are the new wheels and 37s? how's the ride/steering highway/street - over all - pros/cons? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks dude! Appreciate all the advice. Stoked with the 13.5s. I need to post a straight on shot from the front to really capture how badass these puppies are.

Need more pics of your rig!!

Little update... just got my red seatbelts back today. They'll be going in next week!

honestly I'm not sure on the weight of the wheel. Tire is about 82-84lbs, without a scale or looking it up id say 115-125lbs per corner
