@Bbannongmu , the 37x12.50R-17 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZP3 tires look fantastic on your JTR.

We a good looking transformation. I appreciate your feedback on the tires as well.

So, how's it going with the 37s. I have a Rubi LE and when the 33s have run their course I'm considering 35s or 37s with stock Rubi height. Truck looks sweet.
Got to drive on the 37x12.50r17 tires on stock wheels and 1.5” leveling kit more today. Still basically all on road and a small gravel road. Pic next to a stock LJ for size comparison. I Noticed it will rub on the sway bar when turned left at full lock. I’ll try a couple of washers on the steering stops for the easy, cheap fix. Of course wheels with less backspacing or wheel spacers are other options (some would insist THE RIGHT WAY). I’m trying to keep a “stock plus” look. I was excited by the gas mileage this morning - 16.4mpg on two lane road. That’s about the same as stock. However, the way home (up hill) went down to 15.7 and then a later, on a 4 lane, limited access highway round trip the gas mileage fell (tanked) to 14.6. Makes sense - laws of physics. Was using 6th gear some but had to downshift in places I used to just cruise at 60mph in 6th. Regear is likely in the future. Flexin and video hopefully coming soon. #JTRSPARTACUS https://www.youtube.com/c/JTRSpartacus

A little rubbing in full lock. A few washers in the stopes fixed it right up.

Spent my lift funds on this. Too good a deal to pass up. Sets me back in the lift department but part of my plan for the Gladiator into use it to pull ATVs to various locations to ride. Gotta start saving again.

Nice! We run 37s with no lift and Road Armor fenders. IT rubs quite a bit upfront after we installed the Antirock..... Going to have to take out the saw and cut off the old fender brackets.
