People do, as you see, but the big chain tire shops usually will not install them. You will probably also need wheel spacers I would imagine. Also, it might wear the center of the tire more unless you drop the pressure...at least mine did on a JK I did that with.
But, it can be done and many...
Maybe. With a 2.5" front and no rear lift, my 35's hit the rear fenders when wheeling. 0.75" might just be enough, but maybe not. Either way, it will be very close.
My Glad is more stable and rides better than stock, especially over the rough stuff at speed. It comes down to a quality kit and dampers. Cut corners and yes, they often ride like crap. lol.
To follow up on myself, lol. I ordered the following parts yesterday for my steering upgrades for the 37's. I was on the fence and yesterday had to do a bit of in town, stop and go, parking lot maneuvering and running around. I noticed on a few occasions I had to yank the wheel when changing...
I daily'ed 35's with the stock 3.73 gears for some time and it wasn't great but manageable. I now have 37's Nitto Recon's with 5.13s and there is a difference in drivability. The gears made up for the diameter and then some on the drivability and transmission gear selection, but there is a...
R-Pod RP-153
It is not lifted but does have the torsion axle. I added 235 mud tires to it a few weeks ago. They make a 3" lift for it that I might do at some point but did not want to unless it is really needed. It isn't an "off-road" trailer but is more robust than the average one of that...
I tow a TT that probably runs about 4klbs loaded quite a bit with a non-tow package Gladiator. I also have another TT that weighs 7klbs and won't do that again. There are two groups of thought on this one.
One group gets stoked about how the Gladiator could actually perform the task and is...
There is a lot of good advice here. Hopefully I can help a little too as I on 37s with a Clayton 3.5" Overland Plus kit that netted more like 4"-5" of lift.
3.5"
My first thought was to install the 3.5" kit, but I read what the kit is made of and thought maybe. I am assuming you have the other...
Personal experience from myself and guys I wheeled with. In my sig are rigs I have run in the past 25 years and two of them had SJ kits (XJ and JKU) that were both complete short arm. I had alignment and death wobble issues, vibs and the ride quality off-road was pretty bad. On the XJ, I...
I ran a Skyjacker spacer level for a while with the stock shock brackets and it worked fine and rode like stock. With a sport, 35's will relocate your rear fender flairs if you wheel at all, so I suggest sticking to 33's or so unless you want to add longer rear bump stops. Also, the larger and...
It boils down to budget and what your use is for. If just want something to run around town in for a few years, it is probably OK. If you want a quality kit, wheel, tow and other things, look elsewhere.
If you "need" a steering stabilizer with any lift kit, there is an issue with geometry and...
There is a lot of good advice already given. I tow a 4K TT about twice a month with my rig in the sig below. I have an anti-sway and load distribution hitch but don't use it on that trailer after the Clayton lift (rear springs are HD). I also have rear air bags but also don't use them anymore...
...just a quick note...I also use the Rampage Mirrors but Rampage now makes their own adapters and I have them. I got them on Amazon for pretty cheap if I recall. Overall, they work pretty well.
You won't need a lift to run that size. If you want a little more clearance, you can go with a leveling kit with shock relocation brackets, keep your factory control arms, and add swaybar disconnects. I wheeled like this for a while, and it did quite well for forest service roads. I installed...
I have two travel trailers, a RPod (3,500lbs) and a big GD (7,500lbs). The RPod is close to what you have, and I do not use the anti-sway on it, just a good drop hitch. I did not find that it made a big difference on a small trailer and hookup times quadruple. Some help, yes, but not needed...
I had higher hopes for the towing ability of my Gladiator, but then my other rig is a Ram 1500 Hemi e-torque with a 12klbs+ rating that tows like a beast. I tow a $4k TT about twice a month with the JT and it does 'accomplish' the task...
I would be completely comfortable to tow the trailer...
I got talked out of Yukon which is what I used on my JK...apparently either there are some flaws cropping up or their support has been an issue for my Jeep shop and they are more costly. We went with Revolution Gear instead, and he had installed dozens of sets of them with great feedback. So...
My plans were accelerated and I ended up with 5:13s and 37s. The Jeep feels like it has 100 more horsepower and actually gets 2-3 mpg better mileage over the 3.73s and 35's. The Glad actually stays in 8th gear on the highway unless it is a sizeable hill. I also tow a 4klbs travel trailer...
