  1. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    Agree the diagnosis is ignorant. But trying to argue a point that the a 37" tire didn't contribute to worn steering would be a hard fought battle in my eyes . But the question really is how many miles on the rig ? How many with the 37s . Because if it was really early on then you may have a fair...
  2. Stock Diff Covers

    Same .Mine seen pretty stout for a factory offering ?
  3. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    True story . As I have done so on 38s . Get the suspension and steering setup correctly , tight and rite . Problems will be gone . Doesn't mean the dealer will or has to warranty a damn thing tho.
  4. Toyo Open Country A/T III. 285/75s vs 35x11.5s

    I can agree that the posted sizes on the manufacturer website is probably inaccurate to some degree . However anyone measuring ( especially vertically) a tire mounted on a vehicle under weight and comparing those #s isn't helping . Those #s are at the very least mounted on a given wheel width...
  5. 38 vs 37 inch tires

    Old thread here being revived. I ran 33s then 37s (stt pro) and now 38x13.50r17 trail graps . Yes they are heavy and my choice tire would be 39x13.50 KM3 . But the 38s are pretty much in line with the 37s. No real negative take aways . Fuel mileage is down a bit , and the tires have there own...
  6. 37 inch tires Warranty Warning.

    Honestly it's reasonable to expect . It sucks , but steering and suspension are wear items . 37s are going to wear stuff out faster . Good news is the aftermarket is here to help( as you already know) . So they can keep the 35s . I'm going to be right behind you pretty soon . Lol.
  7. QQ: If 35s weigh the same as 37s tire, I imagine damage is the same also

    Agree with above . And above . Rotational mass is probably most noticable in the brake dept . But If you can shut it down controlled in a panic stop with the typical load out then you're probably fine . It's not like your on a track putting heat in the brakes turn after turn . There are...
  8. Dealer is amazed that I would lift a brand new Gladiator...

    I can appreciate this , it's just methodology really . We can debate the reasoning , but all that matters in the end is that you are happy and having fun . Otherwise why even buy a jeep . Yes people are going to make a buck on anything , it is what it is . I choose to build and maintain my own...
  9. Dealer is amazed that I would lift a brand new Gladiator...

    My finance guy , asked me how long I was leaving it stock . Then proceeded to show and tell his JL on 37s . Who the F***leaves it stock ? JK ?
  10. QQ: If 35s weigh the same as 37s tire, I imagine damage is the same also

    Dia ( or effective drive radius really) is more of a factor than weight . However weight does play a factor on both performance and parts life . I would still go 37s on a gladiator .
  11. Well I sold my Gladiator

    We have had some pretty slick speedy cars over here along side a truck , or jeep, or jeep truck . However I finally decided I can't continue to drive said cars on metro Detroit roadways . Traded our GTI in for a JLU and never looked back . Love the fuel economy and fun , but cringing at every...
  12. From Modded '14 JKUR to JT Rubicon

    I feel you on the repairs under warranty that the dealer can't fix due to lack of parts , help , or knowledge.... That's a jagged pill when you buy a new rig.
  13. Looking for 1.5 inch over Rubicon height springs...

    Are you sure it's the spacers ? Worth checking . If you are making noise when really flexing it could be the control are bushings maxing out ( rotationally) and being forced to spin the inner sleeve on the bolt. I have rubi springs and Daystar spacers on our 2021 JLU Willy's , with rubi...
  14. Looking for 1.5 inch over Rubicon height springs...

    I can't see why your springs would be unseating at all with stock length shocks and a 1.5 spacer . But to answer your question I'd look into synergy 2" front springs , and 2" rears , if you want rake . Lots of free length and nice riding .
  15. Steering Stabilizer question?

    FWIW , I have a 21 Rubicon . It has the new steering box. I would say there is an improvement to be had in the steering damper dept stock or not . I started with stock which is fine , then went to an icon centerline thru shaft . This didn't really do much so I removed it and sold it . I then...
  16. Anyone with the BFG KO2 39x13.5r17?

    Thanks for the info . I had the de opportunity to get a set 3 times . I kind a have the same regret. The reason I didn't is they are so scarce it would be my luck I would need to buy a new one after unfortunate events and not be able to source any.
  17. Anyone with the BFG KO2 39x13.5r17?

    Looking high and low for the km3 version . No luck . Currently on 38" trail graps . Any leads appreciated . Thanks
  18. Should I do it?!

    I'd say no. Like others have said you could do better on the swap.
  19. From Modded '14 JKUR to JT Rubicon

    The Jk is just as likely to have issues as as the JT /JL platform or for that matter any other newer vehicle . Yours could have been relatively trouble free and that's awesome , so could the JT . It's a roll of the dice , but I wouldn't let that stop me at age 70. I have had 2 JL and a JT ...
  20. Lift tires and wheels?

    I run 38x13.50 and have ran 37x12.50 on the same 17x9 +18 wheels with good results. Very conservative poke , good tuck . First pic 37s , second 38s.
