Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

Last photo shows stock Overland vs lifted Overland.

No lift & 31s (red) vs 2" lift with 35s (black), right?

Correct if the stock tires on an Overland are 31’s. I don’t know the size off the top of my head. But yes, stock (Red), lifted with 35’s (Black).

Now that you have had this set-up for a bit, how is it working out with articulation and rubbing? I assume you have a lift as well with the 37s? Any issues with the 37s on the 7.5 Wheels?

I've got over 1500 miles on it so far. I do get some slight rubbing when turning into a driveway at speed, haven't investigated exactly where it is contacting. I think these tires are a little wide for the stock wheels, and I notice a little more wandering on highway than with stock 33s. I ordered a set of Mopar beadlocks to give me a little wider wheel, and a little less backspacing for clearance. I should have them on next week.

I would really like to see a Rubi with 2 inch lift and stock tires.

Why does everyone call 315/70/17's 35's? They are 34's.....

Lots of nice trucks in this thread. Cant wait to get mine and run it on 34's.

Size over size for BFG MT KM3s is 34.4 for the 315, 34.5 for the 35, Width is 12.7 on a 9.5 for the 315, 12.5 on a 10 for the 35. Both E rated. Weight both right around 74 lbs.

Kind of makes you wonder why they have 2 sizes that close together, they're practically identical. 315 is a fifth of an inch wider and a 10th of an inch shorter, not sure why the wheel comparison is different, 9.5 vs 10. Maybe that's enough to matter somewhere. Won't on a Jeep.

Maybe there's another difference I don't know about, but same brand same model... same size.

So can anyone tell what wheels these are? I’m walking away from Black Rhino. Buddy of mine is on his second set in a year and the latest ones he is running went about 4 days before showing rust! Been thinking Method Grid MR309 but like the all gloss black look but not too thin if you know what I mean?!?!

Those wheels look like Fuel Recoils.

Thank you!

Sorry Jeep Rigg! I have been off the grid for a few days but will get you exact measurements with the 35's tomorrow. You can add plus 1" for 37's but I will get you a good base measurement with Mopar lift and 35's.

You back on the grid yet, or enough at least to grab that height measurement? Thank you.

How horrible is it to run 3-37" tires and one 35" tire when one of your 37" blows?
I thought i heard the tires trying to rotate at different rates wants to destroy differentials??

Shouldn't be an issue in 2WD if you put the smaller tire on the front drivers side since it has the FAD on that side.

I am interested to know though, if you disconnect the power cable going to the FAD (and using your Tazer), put the jeep in 4wd and hit the lockers in order to limp out in 3 wheel drive, keeping the smaller tire free spinning on the FAD side.

I wonder if traction control would cause an issue...

DOH, forgot about just 2wd and put it in the front. But if you're out in the wild and need 3 wheels to get home, ....anybody know if jeepguy's suggestion would work?

i'll take the stock tires for my sport S when they upgrade.
