Simple answer is NO, and the search function is very helpful as this gets asked about every other week.

Not on a stock, basemodel sport or sport s. You could if you had max tow and/or rubicon OEM shocks & springs. You'd also need to trim some of the softer part of the front bumper because there will be rubbing issues.

You guys are hilarious with your max tow. A true 35 will fit any Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT as long as you take the Euro inserts off or trim them.

Same here, actually happened to a guy locally who has a none Max tow, his 35 hit the control arm.

I'm just saying that the max tow has nothing to do with it. 99% of the Wrangler JL sports we're doing it including myself. It probably depends more on the height of the tire.

I wonder how long it will be before you guys make up a max tow decal where the Rubicon one is located. Max tow max tow max tow that's all I here on this forum anymore. You guys gotta relax

It’s just better performance for a reasonable increase in price. The wider axles and gearing do make a big difference. We wouldnt bring it up if it wasn’t important. The threads on the JL forum and various discussions on the jeep fb groups always have folks without the wider axles rubbing along control arms, if they dont use wheel spacers, lifts, or aftermarket wheels. Nobody isnt relaxing, speaking for myself I chime in the distinction for the love I have to fellow Gladiator Jeepers.

He may have gotten the non-max tow if he was planning on an axle upgrade. Then I can see saving $1000 when I will be spending $20k on the 60/80 axles

Actually it was the same 315 70 17 that I'm running, as already stated by others the shocks and springs are different on a Max Tow and Rubicon compared to a standard sport or Sport S which cause rubbing on the lower control arm and not just saying it because others are saying it I actually saw it happen.

Of course I am plus I drive stick. Pretty sure you can't get max tow in manual.
