I did the rubicon in a first year tj rubicon on a mark smith jeep jamboree. It was really fun. I was pretty amazed at what it could. Do as I recall it had 31 tires no
Lift It did fine.
I only ask because I believe they are quite capable. Trail rated. Able to run the rubicon trail stock (carefully) Right ? So why is everyone telling me oh you got to lift it run larger tires crazy suspension ? To really enjoy it off road. And a basic kit like a spacer lift won’t cut it? Still...
Trying to assess what BFGs 37 x12.50 will actually look like on the jeep with no lift . SO i measrure the stock falkens at's onthe jeep 285 70 17 they are 31&1/8 at 28 psi at 3400' in elevation
SO if anyone has BFGs mounted or any 37 inch tire can you please measure the actual on the...
Do you have a lift? I don’t understand why just swapping tires out would cause you to run 5/8 strong to one side. But I admit I don’t understand lifts very well. If by chancel I didn’t go with 37s and just with 35s could that happen ?
Just buy 315 70 17 ( BFG ) actuallly 36.4 put them on stock wheels no lift no regear and drive it wheel it modestly.. I have to go over some low mtn passes at 3400 anf 4400 feet (the grapevine on I-5) >
is any one doing it this way is ? what are you experinces are you inthe...
wherevdonyou live ? My house is in the Sierra Nevadas at 3500 feet. I weekly drive over the grapevine pass on I 5 that hits 4400 feet dodging the herds of 18 wheelers I get what you are saying and maybe. I’ll try that way but pretty sure I’ll be getting. 488s the ASAP. Right now kinda...
So then looking at the ride right 2.5 @$1300. You would need shocks $600+/- wheels ~1000.00 drive shaft 575 whic would. Equal $3475. Before you buy tires 1500 and regear 1500 bringing the grand total to about $6400.00. Ouch isn’t there a less expensive way to accomplish running 37s? No...
@Clayton Off Road
Does this lift require new wheels or spacers?
new shocks?
New driveshaft?
How much of a trail capability does it add assuming I am running. 37? And 488 on a rubicon?
so what would be a good budget for this kit to complete it in such a way that with caferul driving I could...
