2” mopar lift & 37x12.5xR17 ?

[glaadi8tor]

Hi guys! I have a stock 2023 JT Rubicon and I plan to lift it and upgrade the tires. Would 2” Mopar lift kit be enough for a 37x12.5 or is 11.5 fitment is way better for the drive?

How different would be the drive from stock and what to expect down the road once I got this all done?

thanks

There is so much info on this forum on this very topic yes you’ll be fine

Simple answer is Yes.

That's what I have on my JLUR, when I replaced the tires I went up to 37x12.5s

Yes, the Mopar lift is specifically engineered for our vehicles. I have it on mine along with 37x12.5x18 tires. IMO, the ride is very close to stock. As mine is primarily my daily driver, the ride and handling is smooth and I've experienced no issues at all.
Also, you'll gain much more than the advertised 2". You should be very happy with the result.

No issues at all. I have the 37 x 13.50 x 17 with the 2" Mopar lift. Zero scrub at full turn.

Are you planning on stock wheels? Wheel offset is another factor... those that replied look to have aftermarket wheels.

I was actually just about to ask that. I wanna keep my stock wheels but wouldnt mind buying KMCs. Would keeping 17” size would be ok with the tire size? Some says that I should go for 18” or 20” due to the size of tires I wanna get. I live in Canada and where I am is the worst winter lol. Not sure if the tires/wheels has something to do with the weather here but I also wanna make sure that it will ride just fine on winter season too.

Did you keep your stock wheels on it? Or getting am wheels is better?

You will rub control arms with stock wheels and 12.5" tires. Recommend 0 offset for good clearance and acceptable poke. IMHO.

So I should get 18”x 8-9.5” wide ? Whats the perfect size of wheels for 37s x12.5 R18 that will not cause issues or rubbings ?

OEM/Stock Rubicon wheels

If you plan to take it offroad, I would stick with a 17" wheel. Better flex and traction than a larger wheel.

I'm running a 18x9 Fuel Rebel 5 with an -12 offset. I think they are perfect for me. When I was running the OEM 18" wheels I added a 1.75" hubcentric wheel spacer for a net offset of 0
