Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

[DVC]

After looking through all the pics, I think 35s look perfect with the 2" Mopar lift. I think 37s would look better with a 3" lift, and 38s with a 3.5" or even 4".

I'm trying to resist 37s with the 2" lift. I almost think the Gladiator looks fine with 35s and no lift. My issue is that I already have the Mopar lift, a set of 17" BFGs in a 35" as well as 35" Ridge Grapplers in 18s. Now if I were to have a Jeep to put them on haha!

I hear you man! I have 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers as well, trying to make a final decision on the wheels. Going with something 17" for sure, just not sure which wheels 100% yet.

I have a 2in Mopar lift awaiting my JT, shit just needs to get here. It's 2 days late so far, hoping today is the day. The 37's look good, but honestly I kinda like the 35's I've seen better. I really need to see a few more before I can make a final decision.

Other than it being the wrong color with red letter tires that JT is spot on in my opinion. 37s look just right.

I agree with that

What wheels are those?

I think this question ties into this thread well enough. A 2" Mopar lift allows 35s or even 37s. Are you all buying 4 or 5 larger tires for the Gladiator? 5 were standard on Wranglers since the spare was on display. 4 does just fine appearance-wise on the Gladiator.

35s fit between the frame rails fully inflated. 37s reportedly fit between the frame rails with a little air let out. So, fitting a 35 or 37 shouldn't be the issue. I have Discount Tire run a 5 tire rotation on my Wrangler every 4k miles. Will they rotate 5 tires even when one is tucked under the truck?

So, what are all of you doing ... 4 or 5 purchased (what size) ... and 4 or 5 rotated?

I'm buying 4.
I'll then find a used (cheap) to mount on the spare steelie.

How horrible is it to run 3-37" tires and one 35" tire when one of your 37" blows?

I thought i heard the tires trying to rotate at different rates wants to destroy differentials??

I have the same question because I’m interested in 37s. But most cars come with tiny donut spare tires. So I would assume this wouldn’t be as bad as that. But I’m not an expert on the matter.

yeah i just figured you'ld probably want a 35" spare at least if you're running 37", just don't know how bad it would be. I've heard other guys speculate you could just run with the 37s aired down and 35 well inflated, but I don't know how long you can sustain that, maybe just to limp out of the desert before the buzzards git' ya?
