2.5 inch JKS Jspec lift. 37 inch Nitto trail grapplers with Method 105s. I love the overall look. Don’t really notice any road noise difference but there is a steering difference. No issues but it’s noticeable.

what kind of steering issues are you having? Most everyone says it rides as good as stock is it squirrely going down the road or what is the issue on steering ?

Yup. We ran Holcomb, John Bull to the gate keeper, too long a line, hit gold mountain down instead. Then hit dishpan springs. Over 3 separate days though.

I agree with being able to mount any tire on any rim, but after talking with BFG a respectable company, he did make sense, why do tire manufacturers put rim width requirements on their tires? Every manufacturer does and I think Iwould be just fine with a 35 or 37 x12.50 tire on the stock rim. But even Jeeps different wheels that they offer are wider then 7.5
I learned the hard way with my Nova with some big gumpy tires and rims that weren’t wide enough, thought I knew better then Mickey Thompson and it cost me 2 Weld wheels and 2 more tires. Just my opinion and guilty of it too

That looks really good. The Podiums contrast well with the granite crystal. How is the stock gearing handling the 37s? Are you planning on regearing?

Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 315/70R17s on Fuel Beast 17x9 wheels. The lift is a Rancho 3.5" non-rubicon suspension kit.

Mopar lift, reinforcement on the back, and 37" KO2's. I really like the factory wheels so I got the 1.75'' Spidertrax spacers.

Glad you like it! You won't regret getting this color. Not a day goes by that I drive it and don't have someone complementing me on how awesome the color is. When you get yours go to the Mojito page on here and post your pics!

How has the performance of your Jeep been after changing to 37" tires. I am assuming you still have the stock gearing, 3.45?

Yes i am on stock gear and don't plan on re-gearing anytime soon. Surprisingly, ride is quiet and comfortable on the KM3s for daily driving on both street and hwy. Steering is a bit loose though.
