Starting a build

[murphys pub]

I just picked up a 2020 Gladiator overland and am trying to decide on a good size tire to run. I am going to be putting a 3.5in lift kit on it. Trying to decide if I should run 35s or 37s. I do tow a boat so not sure if the sag when the boat sits would be a problem with 37s. Any issues with rubbing on the 37s? Also was curious how much slower and sluggish it gets with wheels that big. Looking for some direction and even some cool builds for some future ideas

-thanks!

It will be a slug for towing on 35's unless you regear. If you are going to do a 3.5" lift then 37's will look good. I have Mopar 2" and 35's. No rubbing whatsoever. One trip last year I was running 4k RPM + up an incline (25 mile incline) without towing. Came back from trip and re-geared to 4.56 gears.

Nothing crazy, it’s a 19ft center console boat. I’m thinking it will only drop an 1in or so when I drop the boat on it

We tow 3500# boat, and it'll drop 1/2", but I have the Max Tow with the progressive rear springs.

I would keep it stock until you regear if you're planning to tow. Also, if you're asking about 37, you want 37s, get 37s. Otherwise you won't be completely happy.
