35” KO2s to 37” KO2s!!

[MalikBBoy]

Soooo…..Currently, I have 35” KO2s on the Gladiator Rubicon with no lift.
Planning to add in 37” KO2s with a 3” lift. I just picked up the tires….huge!! I’ll add photos when it’s done!

You're gonna love the 37's! I took the same type picture around the same time last year.

lol. That’s too funny! Great to hear! The shop recommends a 3” lift, and we are going with 3.5-4” Fox Shocks.

I’m assuming you’re still pleased with the 37”!?

Yes, very happy with the 37's. I can say honestly say my set up rides better than it did stock and offroad it's even better. Still running the 4.10 gears and very happy with everything.

It might be best to do some research on your own for the lift, what lift is the shop recommending?

When I got my JT in 2021 (December) I immediately put 35" KO2's on. I drove it home and 2 days later went back for the 37's. I have the MOPAR 2" lift and have been extremely happy - although I am finally re-gearing next week to 5.13. I have a manual and have not seen 5th or 6th gear for the last 2 years.

Good call!! I’ve been researching this past year…. And the lift we are going with is the Zone 3” Lift (along with 3.5” Fox Shocks). I’ve heard good feedback for those who have used them.

I see the Zone lift, I suggest some geometry correction brackets so it still drives nice without wandering if you go with that lift. Or some of the Mopar lift kit lower control arms, these will run you about $120 for the pair at the stealerships in Ontario.

Yes….I forgot to mention…. The Geometry Control Arm Correction Brackets will be installed!

have a 2020 JT Rubicon with 33" and factory wheels, my plan is to upgrade next spring to 37" Grapplers and hopefully KMC wheels. I hear different reasons not to go with 37" on 4.10 gears.
I'm undecided but 80% would like to go with 37" instead of 35". My JT will see mostly 70% pavement and 30% overlanding. Eventually will do a 2.5 lift kit.

Giving my 315s to my buddy and doing the BFG 37s was one of my best decisions. The 4.88s even better. The 37s ride better and possibly quieter due to being a little narrower. No rubbing on my Mopar 2 inch lift at full flex, but very close. Anyone with a 2 inch or larger lift, just do the 37s. The auto 8 speed will be OK with the Rubicon 4.10s until you want to go 4.88s. Now I see 8th gear a lot. I would not do 5.13 due to pinion strength is lower. Not sure how long my ball joints and bearings will last but the BFGs are light so not worried.

37" KM3's on a Metalcloak Gamechanger 2.5" lift. Will re-gear to 5.13's next year. Had 37" General ATX's on my 2020 sport with a 3.5" lift/5.13's before.
