I did some searching here but couldn’t find the answer to this:
I have a Sport with MOAB takeoff wheels. I also have the MOAB takeoff suspension which I’m planning to install soon.
When my current 33’s need to be replaced I’m thinking of going with 35’s.
Questions:
1) Any issues with 35s on the stock MOAB wheels? I see that there are tires such as Milestar Patagonia that are ok down to 7.5” wide wheels.
2) Will the takeoff suspension (1.5-2” lift vs stock Sport suspension) give me enough lift to avoid rubbing in common off-road situations or over speed bumps? I don’t do any severe off road driving or crawling (mostly beaches and fire trails, although I plan to explore some local overland camping). From other posts I think this will be ok.
3) From other posts I think that the stock spare tire carrier will be sufficient. True?
4) I appreciate that the performance won’t feel as peppy (3.6 MT) and the MPG will go down a few, and that I will need computer calibration; but with the stock Sport gearing will the performance still be reasonable for highway driving (accelerating in to merges etc) and ok at stop lights? I know this is a bit subjective.
5) Will the stock Sport brakes be sufficient or will I need the HD ones?
Anything else I’m missing?
Again, I know this is basic stuff (my first Jeep) and I did search through a bunch of threads, so thanks for any advice!
