20"What size are your Wheels?
Yuuuup. I've weighed everything extensively, and since I actually take the thing off pavement as much as my bleak, soul-crushing life allows, I don't think I would be happy running 35s without new wheels, a real lift, a regear, and I'd be even happier on Dana 44s.I've had this same internal battle. Think I've settled on Rubicon springs a d call it a day. I'd rather not go to 35s as that's where people start suggesting regears and new rims and whatnot.
I think it's good you're taking your time. I bought my wheels & tire set before I found this forum. I really like the set, but wished I'd checked the seller marketplace hear first.Yuuuup.

I can't afford all that stuff, and there is plenty I can enjoy without spending the money on that stuff, so I'm riding on Rubicon springs and I may trade up to 33s when I burn off my 32s. My big source of hesitation about the 33s is that I would really be happier if I had 4.10 gears with my stock 32s. The factory 3.45 gears with the 6MT are just a miserable combination, and that will only get 5% worse if I trade up to larger tires. Plus the 33s aren't available in OWL, and I kind of like my factory OWL.
Ive been running Falken M/T on my sport on 3.45 gears 8 speed auto for 1 yr and average about 19 mpg, its been great, stock height stillYuuuup.

We will never let you live this down! lolOn top of that, my wife even thought they looked too small but was afraid to say anything to me.
installed and pics???I went with the Dynatrac 2” lift. I don’t have it on yet but from what I’ve seen it looks good with 33s. It might be spot on with 34s on a Sport/Sahara. I noticed a lot of Rubicons ran 35s with that lift and it looks good. Unfortunately it’s not installed yet so I don’t have pictures.
pics? Thats the tire I'm looking at getting after the Falken Wildpeak MT go bad...does that 75 or the 70 lift the jeep a little bit more?I just installed a rubicon suspension on my sport, spring numbers 60/61, 90/91. Added 3/4 spacers and I like the look, i have 285/70 Falkens but have a new set of 285/75 Toyos going on next week. No good pictures but I will snap a few tm.
how the toyos running on road pretty smooth? did that 75 or 70 make an difference in the tire sizeHere is my 18 Sport with Rubicon spring/Shocks also added 3/4 spacers. I have 285/75/17 Toyos on.
It’s not on yet. I’m getting before measurements done. I have an appointment mind August to get it installed. I’m then going to drive it with stock tires for a week just to make sure it’s all good then put 285/75 r17 tires on it. I know I’m probably going to need a relocation bracket but it can wait a few months. I’ll put up pictures when I get it all done.installed and pics???
Love the retro white wagon wheels.This is what my Sahara looked like with a Mopar 2-inch lift and 33-inch tires. It looked terrible!
This is what it looks like now with 35-inch tires
If you don’t want to replace tires yet, I’d say hold off doing the lift.
Hey your running rubi suspension with daystar spacer lift right? Hows it doing? And you put 285/75 at 3? Whats that measure out too? You got a throttle controller or anything? Sorry for all questionsThis is a picture of my current toyos next to my old wildpeak ATs which were 285/70/17. I love the Toyo's the on-road manner is great, very smooth driving with very little road noise. They are 11 inches wide so keeping the stock rims was something I enjoyed, paired with the 1.75 spacer makes a perfect stance in my eyes. Just a few extra pics of diff views for you, I did remove my rear bumper as the spare rubbed when I opened the tailgate.
Yes I am running a rubicon suspension with 3/4 inch spacers. Jeep has great road manners and drives great. I think a 35 inch tire would be to much and a regear would need to happen.Hey your running rubi suspension with daystar spacer lift right? Hows it doing? And you put 285/75 at 3?
