37x12.50x17 on stock Mojave - do they rub?

[KevinC]

Managed to take the JTM out into the woods this weekend and flex it up and drive some really bad roads at some speed. I'm not a great picture taker, and most the good shots I was probably in the drivers seat not wanting to get out at the most inopportune time. So be it.

Do they rub? As previous post, yes I can get the front tires to rub the back side of the fender liner. I trimmed them a little and today zip tied them so they don't flap/move. Now they don't. I never adjusted the steering stops either.

This is with the stock 7.5" Mojave wheel also.

Everywhere else front or back I have yet to rub. I fully flexed both front and rear and inspected clearance. All seems to be good.

Yeah, good call. I can see it rubbing pretty bad disconnected.

My plan is to not disconnect. My previous JTR I hardly ever needed to disconnect and got tired of it reconnecting above 18MPH. I feel stock Gladiators have enough articulation for my needs.

The ride is so much better on rough roads disconnected in every other jeep I've ever owned I can't see why they didn't put the sway bar disconnect on the mojave. Is it necessary? No, but man do wash boards feel better disconnected at speed.

You'll hear the tires rub.
Tazer would allow the disconnect to stay disconnected over 18.
