I have a 2021 JTR with Mopar 2In lift and 35s on 17s. No regearing - stock Rubicon gears. 6MT. I debate going to 37s. I could do it with no further suspension mods. But I would definitely want to regear. 35s is bad enough with the 6MT and I am pretty sure 37s would be horrible. What I'm concerned about is drivetrain reliability. I don't rockcrawl but I do hund and drive on muddy and heavily rutted logging roads. Axle and differential clearance is what I'm looking for. I know 37s only give me another inch... But I worry about stress on axles and hubs. And about braking capability with so much added rotating mass. Jeep seems to treat 35s as clearly within factory tolerances for (e.g. extreme recon package ith 35s will be tires and gears but no changes to brakes and axle parts).
What is your experience with 37s - drivability and reliability? Is it really a big difference over 35s? So far I think 35s strike a great balance between reliability, warranty-ability, and overall good looks.
I'm sure this opinion has been debated but now that people have put 30-40K miles potentially on 37s I'm curious about long term livability.
Thanks
