Hello all! I recently purchased a 2018 JL Sport S Unlimited(2.0t). This is my first jeep and I just wanted some input on the parts list that I would need to run 35" tires with no issues on or off the trail. I am not sure If I need anything else besides just the lift and wheels/tires.

Was also wondering what all I would need to upgrade to run 37s, or if that would even be a good idea in general on this model.

Thanks in advance!
I run 35's on my JL Sport. 2.5" lift, 1.75" Spidertrax wheel spacers. Mounted on JK Stock Rubicon Wheels off a '17. Mine goes into the shop to re-gear to 4.56 in 2 weeks. I can get into 8th gear sometimes on the stock 3.45 gearing but it won't stay there. Imo the re-gear is the most important step to running 35 or 37's

Very cool, how much did they quite you for re gearing?

I have sport on 35s

If youre not taking it off road i believe rubi suspension would be sufficient. Or spacer lift.

If taking it off road you can then add a spacer lift or get rubi fenders (or both)

I have rubi suspension and rubi fenders (planning on spacer lift). No rubbing here

I like the sound of >> New Jeep Owner <<. It kind of reminds me of saying >> I am Not a Virgin Anymore << : )

. Lol! It has been a new experience so far, figured I'd dip into the other end of the spectrum, usually I'm at the drag strip.

Looking at lift kits today, does anyone have experience with the 3.5" teraflex kit with 2.1 shocks?
