Hey everyone,

trying to decide between 35s and 37s. I have a 2.5” spacer lift.
Question- would 37s fit? Would I need to regear or mod other things?

if going 37s will cause me to need to spend additional money, I will go with 35s.
Thanks.

37’s you will have to re-gear. You would want too upgrade axle shafts as well. Also more wear and tear on the brakes. Ball joints and everything else. Unless your rock crawling 35’s will do a lot

I don't know if you can squeeze 37s in with a 2.5. Most suspensions lifts with 2.5 say there are clearance issues at 2.5 on a Sahara.

There are a lot people who went 37s on stock gears with the 8 speed. They lose 8th, but not all have regeared, so you might not need this day one.

Ultimately depends on what you're doing. If you're mostly on road and mild trails, you'll probably be fine without regearing or upgrading axles, but I'd still be worried about clearance on a 2.5 lift.
