Can you only do this on the rubicon? I didn’t see any Sahara’s here.

I think for a mall crawler, if you throw on a rubi suspension 35s will work.
No need to throw in the little jab... I didn’t know the suspension was different. I just started looking at JLs and I like that it can be customized to the extreme in any direction. I am looking at the Sahara because I want something that’s the best of both worlds and will also be my daily driver. 90% of my use will be on road but I want a little more ground clearance because I do need to go up pitted rocky backroads occasionally.

My understanding is 35’s only fit stock rubi...because of suspension and higher fender flares...if u want 35’s May be worth getting a rubi...cause if u build out a Sahara u will dang near have been able to get a rubi....that is if u go stock w/ 35’s!

Stock, I don’t think you can go with 35’s on a Sahara, only the Rubicon. My wife’s rubicon arrived yesterday, they installed a lift and 35’s. It looks really nice. I’m thinking of ordering a Rubicon, if I do, I’ll try 35’s with no lift.....I’m going to crawl ALL of the malls. Lol.

Just got new shoes! 18x9 Fuel Beasts with 35x12.5 Goodyear Duratracs. 2 inch Mopar lift is going on tomorrow. I thought I would post these prelift shots here.

This wheel/tire combo looks great! I may be doing the same thing to mine ... when it is delivered. :) Can't wait to see pics with the lift.

Which offset did you go with ... +1 or -12?

Love everything about your Rubi. If I had it to do over again I would copy your build.

Thanks Dave! My daughter has a Sahara. I put my Rubi take-offs on her Jeep. Fuel Beasts would look great on your truck as well.
