I put 33 falken the same tire that comes on the rubicon on my sport. I dont have the max tow package. If I'm going to do mild off roading like the beach , mud trails , and maybe messing around with small hills. Do I need to put a spacer kit in or a lift? I'd rather not lift it if I dont have too. I use as a daily driver 60 miles a day.

I'd say try it out, keep watch, but you may be fine as is. Only what you plan on doing where you plan on doing it can determine the need. Rocks or tree stumps, steep ditches, whatever, yeah, but you can sure try a little first.

I ran Falken M/T 255/75/17s on my Sport and it did fine. Those are only about 1/2” larger diameter and width than stock 245s and only 1/2” smaller in diameter and 1” narrower than the Rubicon tires. I ran muddy roads just fine.

What was your experience based on the above?
I'm possibly going the same route.

Took it to rausch Creek off road park made it through the green trails with no problems. However I am having a problem with clicking sounds with turning at slow speeds but not sure that's from the tires. The dealer is trying to figure out what's going on with it. Never said anything about my tires.

Thx for the reply!
Hope you get to the bottom of your issue with the clicking sounds!!

Clicking sound turning the wheel at low speed is a common symptom of a bad clock spring. We needed ours replaced the day after we bought our Gladiator, and that was our first symptom (followed by cruise, FCW and electronic stability control failures).
