I have dilemma, a good one but still a problem and need some good advice. I have a JLU Sahara with 285/75R17 (33.86”) Nitto Ridge Grapplers (4,500 miles on them). I added them when the suspension was stock and they looked great. That was when I was under the false assumption that I wouldn’t lift it. Well...
Over the weekend I installed Metalcloak’s 2.5” Dual Rate Kit with Rocksport struts (great kit and easy install, incredible ride), which added an even 4” front and rear. Unfortunately, my almost 34s look a little small with the added 4”. Pic below with new dimensions, hope this helps others considering the kit.
So, do I go up to 35s or make a big jump to 37s? I’m concerned the 35s won’t make much of a difference and jumping 3” to 37s will be too much and maybe rub. I really like the Tidge grapplers for their comfort and ride but I’m open to others that may offer a large 35 or small 37.
My use - I’m a newbie and this is my daily driver. I have wheeled it lightly, but I’m learning so no hardcore rock crawling (yet). As you guys know, looks are important but functionality and capability are more important.
I learned an incredible amount from this forum including how to install all my current mods and lift (thanks @rustyshakelford), you guys rock, looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks! Steve
