Can a non rubicon run bigger tires

I'm getting a new JL sport and was wondering if the gearing on non rubicon can handle 35" tires with a lift?

Yes - I have always bought the sport version (sport s this go around) and upgraded later. If you do a lot of trail riding at some point you will want to re-gear.

Thanks Swanny! I even read on forum just now that you can even put 35s on stock suspension . wow

It isn't the trail riding that will make him want to regear, it's driving in traffic on 3.02 gears and big tires..lol

The new 8 speed makes a world of difference in how the JL takes big tires vs the JK.
