Looks great! Those are the same tires I think I'm going with pretty much because they're one of the lightest 37" mud tires. Can you tell me how much has the power been affected with them? My 35" Mud Grapplers are soooo heavy this time I'm trying a lighter tire hoping to help some of the power loss. Thanks
Couldn’t be happier with the looks and ride of these tires. The stock JL has a fun peppy ride and even with these particular 37’s it’s still pretty peppy. Doesn’t feel labored at all. The ride is now a little more plush than stock, some of it’s the lift but most is the tires. Aired them down to 32psi. The wider stance and bigger tires makes it feel more planted on the road than stock. Hope this helps.

Looks great Zach!! Glad to hear all the good vibes running 37’s as I finally made that decision as well after flip flopping countless times!!

here is mine!! finally got the Mopar lift installed, 37s Toyo open country Mts, Fuel 17" wheels, and ended up getting the molar tailgate reinforcement and raiser for bigger tire. so far loving it, and rides like a champ. just lost a little of acceleration but nothing mayor. and no bow on my lift.

Looks awesome!!! I’ve picked the same color but with paint match fenders and went with DV8 Beadlocks.. only thing I can’t decide is paint the rings or leave em alone... I do like the way yours looks unpainted....CONGRATS!!

Wait! What? It's more plush now even with the MTs over the BFG ATs? How is that possible? How about road noise compared to the BFGs KO2s? I've been dead set on no lift and KO2s in 315 size with load range C but that was mostly because I need a fairly smooth ride for my DD. I'd much prefer going bigger and use those tires if it rides smoother than stock! I do offroad once a month or so and could use the more aggressive tire!

Good morning! Thanks so much! I love the 3rd brake light! It’s the mopar relocation bracket. Pretty simple install. I already had taken everything apart for the installation of the reinforcement bracket. Once I removed the tire and took loose the tire mount it’s a simple removal of the 3rd brake light from its current mount. Once reassembling the tire mount and the tire you run the wire through you put the included lug nuts in and the new light mount screws in. Then you simply attach the 3rd brake light. Would highly suggest if you are looking to relocate the brake light.

and what's your opinion of the rear door brace and spare tire mount relocation is it worth it or wait for something aftermarket
