4LOW PHOTO JLU Build

Do you know if the stock Rubicon wheels have the same backspace/offset as the stock Sport S wheels? I love the stance of your 315/70s with the rubi wheels and was hoping to get the same with no spacer needed to avoid rub.

I ran those rubi wheels with no spacer. Should be same specs

Few updates. Decided to go with a Gun metal look on the new Raceline Clutch wheel. Also switched back to 35s. Just do way to much highway driving and not going to regear this jeep for now as it's a lease. The JL did way better with the 37s than the JK did, but I can feel the power can going back to 35s. Lastly upgrading to the beast of a shock with Radflos! I actually don't have those installed quit yet, but they are in, so that's great. Link to most of the parts on the Jeep in the first post .

LOOKS GREAT!!!!

I have the rough country budget lift and considering RK 2.5 adventure series along with falcon shocks. I have 35s E rated tires. What are your thoughts?

Highly recommend, you need those longer LCAs to correct the pinion angle and roll that axle back. My KO2s are E as well, I was nervous at first ride would be rough, but after a day didn't even notice. Go for it!

Couple of questions:
Did you regear the rear since you are running 37" and I assume you have the Dana M200 rear axle?
Why delete the spare? If you offroad aren't you worried you may wind up needed it?

I have the dana 44 upgrade, did not regear. I had 37s and but now 35s. I just drive more on road way more than offroad, so the 35s were more practical. the 35s it feels better than my JK with 4:88s felt. the 37s you could notice way more, it just lost some pep and mpg. but still not terrible.

The tailgate just could not handle even the 35 on it, I had spacers to make it fit and it felt like it was going to rip off every time I opened. I can throw the spare in back if I need for wheeling, if not I'm usually with a ton of people with them lol
Fairly difficult to pop a 35" Ko2 on the street unless you hit large metal debris. PLus now I can actually see out of the back window and hang my boards out.
