Gearing for 37" Wheels

[22RubieJLU]

Hey all,
So please be kind ? I have a JLUR and a JKR I use for off-roading that my buddy helped me build up (by helped, I mean he basically did ?). Anyways, I have a '20 JLU Willys that I'm dying with it being stock. I've ordered 37s, but they're back ordered for a few weeks. I'm assuming/know I'll need to regear before throwing on the wheel set. As this will be a mall crawler (?), what minimum gear tasting will I need? I'm thinking a 2" lift will be sufficient as the willys I got has the stock rubi suspension so sits a bit higher than a sport and Sahara. The less money I spend on this means the more I'll have for my crawling rig, but also don't want to do long term damage so am more than fine spending money to keep her healthy. Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Leave it stock.

The right gearing could depend on your engine type, transmission type, and environment. As far as the lift, a 2” lift with Willys fenders will probably rub 37s.

You have 2 Rubicons that are built and got another Sport to build? Why don't you just wheel one of 2 Rubicons?

No, I have the rubis for wheeling. This one is my daily. I pay them off then just keep them lol. I've kept everyone I've bought since my first one in high school I ended up just cancelling the 37s as they were back ordered anyways, and stuck with 35s. I reheated to 4.11s so she's been all good and happy ?
