Ok so planning a JLUR build for the wife in the not-too-distant future. It will be used heavily as a daily driver. It will also be used as an exploration tool for mountain dirt and gravel roads here on the east coast. (Crawling not so much). Ultimately it will also be used to pull a small offroad teardrop.
Not willing to regear.
I have been looking at lifts and tires ad nauseam for months i want to run c or d rated ko2’s for their road manners. I would love to go with 37’s for the extra clearance and the way they fill out the wheel wells with the highline fenders but don’t want to take to big a hit on the highway.
35 vs 37” ko2s only gain around 4 pounds per corner. So I would love some feedback from those running them with the 8 speed auto on highway manners. I guess my big question is: Is it the added weight of most 37’s that contribute to the need to regear, or the increased diameter of the tires?
Thanks!
