he made the post like 5 hours ago, maybe he has a life or a job....now if he doesn't respond back in a week or so then we should get worried about wasting our precious keyboard time.....lol....carry on.Another one of these threads where OP ask a question gives very little information and disappears…….. “ daily driver that goes on a few trips a year “…….. trips to where , Starbucks, Mall, Moab, ????….
I don’t care when he made his post, if he really wanted to know, he would have stayed engaged…..at least for a few responses……Meh, I really don’t care as much as I make it sound like I do……?
I’m sure they can work and ride very well(my own 37s are doing me *quite* well!). But the price is only what I’m addressing. At about 100 bucks extra per tire.. to me that’s a very expensive inch to bleed away on pavement.
That's a fraction of my gas bill...lol...
Touché! That’s why I made sure to say that it was just my opinion on that part. If I had the resources… I’d bleed 40s on the highway. But, c’est la vie, the lotto hasn’t complied with my demands yet, haha.
Are those stick-on skids added to the rear body and tailgate?...
This system has worked for me.
Wouldn't that be a net 2" difference from 35s to 37s? Presuming OP doesn't add any lift of course. Size matters, an extra 2" makes a difference. ?
No, it's only 1". Half of the amount is above the axle, half below, 1" raise.
remember half your tire size is over the center of the axle.......kind of like when you get a flat it is only flat on the bottom half.....

I’ve run what I feel the need to run in Moab, elephant hill, metal masher, hells revenge, poison spider, etc. I have zero desire to drag my rig through Pritchett Canyon, I would rather buy a cheap jeep and give it hell in something I could comfortably afford to roll. The factory skid rarely hits by comparison to my 35” rig, even though I’ve got a longer wheelbase, the bumpers rarely hit by comparison as well. The skids seem to do a good enough job for me. I’m far more concerned with rolling my rig, and I’m almost never concerned about turtling on an obstacle, and even then, the factory skid is there to save the day. The skids I could see being more useful to me would be diff skids and rear shock skids. Not to say that full belly skids have no place, they’re definitely better than nothing or factory skids, but, I don’t see them as a “must have”. I would go as far as to say I would probably pick 3.5” lift and 37s over 35s, skids, and steel bumpers. I find the enhanced break over, approach, and departure angles to be far more useful off road. 2.5” of extra clearance has done well for me. If you like the look 35s and 3.5” of lift would equate to just 1” less overall lift. In this case 35s would be similarly capable, and skids would play a bigger role in capability. I’m just comparing how rigs are generally built, and it’s usually not with the same suspension lift for both sizes.
