[Brianf1977]

pretty much just wondering if the xtreme recon package can run 37s without any issues?

I want to know why they have not taken a page out of Ford's book, and offered the Xtreme Recon package on all models?

It’s intentional to make one buy the more expensive trim.

your speedometer will need to be re-calibrated

I think it might with the wheels that come with it's offset.

I've been wondering the exact same thing. My suspicion is that it will probably work for street driving but may need a lift/bump stops for full flex off road. But I'm just guessing here. If the factory 1.5" lift is anything like the Mopar 2" lift it may be sufficient

I think the lift will be similar to the 392 ride height. There are videos that show 37s rub on 392s under full flex. I would say its a safe bet that 37s would also rub under full flex if you go with a 'true' 37. You may be able to use a longer bump stop. But smaller running 37s like BFG KO2s would probably be fine.

Is the lift the same as the regular mopar lift for the rubicon? What is the offset on the wheels?

If you're going to go with 37s i wouldn't get the xtreme recon package. You're going to end up needing new suspension and gears anyway. Pointless

I wouldn't call it pointless. 4.56 aren't terrible for 37's, not perfect but not terrible. Upgraded axles, factory beadlocks, tailgate reinforcement, bigger brakes aren't nothing.

You would not NEED to regear. There are plenty of folks running 37s who didn't regear stock Rubicons.

Not sure not the lift, it's one of my questions for the first owner to take delivery as well. If the wheels are the same as the Mopar accessory wheels offered in the aftermarket its 4.4" BS

So the 4:56 gears are pointless? There's also a lot of fat chicks putting ducks on Jeeps. That doesn't make it right

4:56 is going to be fine on 37s. You said you are going to need new gears which is just silly. You may prefer different gearing but that isn’t the same as need.

What is silly is spending that much money on an upgrade package with the intention of having it less than ideal. If you're going to run and wheel 37s, 4.88 should be the minimum. Maybe 5.13s, depending on your use case. But what do i know?
