- 2019 Bright White 2dr JL Rubicon 3.6
How are you liking those Discoverers on and off road? I'm leaning towards them on my 2 door JLR once my stockers wear down a bit more, with the AEV 2.5". Looks awesome.Well said and my performance experience with 37’s also. I did build up the steering to H.D. aftermarket parts. Steering is excellent. Only other thing I’d add is about suspension lift. I’ve found 2.5’’s of lift a must for off roading on trails rated 4 and above because of tire rub and that’s on a Rubicon with it’s greater tire clearance to start vs a Sport. Clearance is fine on a flex trailer like MetalCloaks.
But once on the trail my tires rub the plastic liners indicating static trailer/ramp testing isn’t the same. When you really get twisted up with a wheel off the ground is when things start rubbing at the stuffed tire.
I have the Mopar lift(almost 3”) and am finding 37’s rub quite a bit really. Not a hard travel limiting rub, more a noise annoyance. I am at the point of conceding and pulling the plastic fender liners for aftermarket alum. panels and a frt. light kit. At a cost of $1G, I’m not thrilled with the idea. A few more trail runs and I’ll decide. With the social distancing concerns and Moab EJS being closed down, I’m not sure when those trails I need more experience on will happen. Mid summer months I’m thinking. Sorry for the off track post. I love my unicorn haha.
Update: Found an alternative to aluminum fender liners......
