Well I asked because the setup I’m going with they are 33’s but measure 34’s..

Are you lifting / adding Rubi suspension? I read 33” is biggest you want to w sport without a lift. Rubi can don35” because of higher fender and suspension(springs).

I feel like I am the only one who kinda like the stock Sahara wheels.

Not at all, I liked the stock wheels too, but tire selection in 18" is not as good.

Nice man! Did they charge you for that oil change! Lol

I know right, but they didn't charge me a penny.

I'm jealous! Mine isn't going to ship until at least the 8th.... But Merry Christmas to me

Not lifting just yet but when I do I’m going with that Mopar 2” lift kit that includes the Fox shocks.

I’ve seen people on here running those tires no lift without issue. The only issue they had was the tailgate which I ordered a spare tire relocation kit from ExtremeTerrain, the Rough Country one.

I just ordered the Mopar Tailgate Table from Mopar for $211 cheapest I could find that’s out the door with shipping. ExtremeTerrain wanted $225 out the door and Quadratec wanted $239 out the door. If you want the link let me know and I’ll go back and get it in my browser. Install looks simple.

EDIT:
I also ordered these bags and patches thanks to @paulr to mount to the table.

Damn thats a good idea. I've been looking for something like the Smittybilt MOLLE set up I had on my TJ.

Ill be swapping over my JK bumper to the JLU once it shows up, might be the first one running a 8274 on the front :D

But yah, unless your dealer is extremely uptight, they have no problems with modded jeeps. Ive got a good relationship with my service department here that they will let me take the parts and swap them on my own time so I am not down a Jeep for a day. ive warrantied wheel bearings, driveshafts, seals and pulleys with no issues on my JK and its lifted about 3.5 on 35's

Will JK bumpers fit the JL

Just did the same thing, super easy. Free up as much of that 3rd brake light wire as you can is my only advise.

Roger that man thanks!!

You got it. 35x12.5x18. Ridge grapplers.

I like how the TREAD is just about flush with fender. I know those 35" nittos are mounted on 18x9 with a 5.57" back space and a +18mm offset. how is the clearance at full turn left and right?
