Ok... I have put off doing the whole bigger tires thing but I just keep thinking I could at least sell my stockers and offset some of the cost. Im just going to keep the stock wheels my mojave came with so we can just keep that in mind as we discuss the classic argument 35 vs 37's. I also want to preface this as I am the sort of person that just tries to keep things balanced and realistic in life. I dont buy the absolute best and I dont buy the worst, I try and gauge what I am trying to accomplish with cost/benefit. In other words the classic "you'll just go 37's later" isnt going to necessarily be true. I had 35's on my K5 Blazer and was completely happy. My offroad trailer has 35's on it also, so it would be a cool match.
I am leaning 35's because I dont get to go wheelin much and from what I have read 4.10s and 35's are generally acceptable. The wheelin' frequency could change in the future. Everyone has been just so busy its hard to find time. Im also trying to get a local group to actually do more jeep stuff instead of potlucks and parking in parking lots. Local trails are mostly dirt road ATV sorta trails. I avoid mud and prefer exploration/overlanding adventures vs obstacles. Im more interested in getting from point a to b without completely blowing ruel range, lets face it, gas isnt getting any cheaper.
However, YOLO and if I am going to do 37's I should probably go for it now. They look great honestly.
But... that re-gear. man, shits expensive and there just aren't a ton of options locally (in fact I think zero) for me. It would likely have to be a dealership install, which means even more $$$.
Lets get to the meat and potatoes.
Lets say I went 4.88 and 37's, then later said yeah ill just go back to 35's. Will the 4.88's be overkill or more like 37's and 5.13?
What ring and pinion brands are good to go and which should I avoid?
Ok, switching gears (ha! get it!?)
Tires. I really love, my Falken A/T's and Id love to just step them up a size. But I always try and have a backup plan, Geolander X A/T look promising and pretty similar, good tires? Something else I should consider?
Is there a lift for Mojave's that allow you to keep the stock stuff? Like 2" or so?
Sell Mojave suspension purchase nice clayton something or other? (probably wouldnt do that but everything has a price lol)
Sorry, bit of a post there. Looking forward to hearing just honest responses. I know you guys cant say "just do ____." because everything is different for everyone.
