Fishbone front Stubby bumper works fine for me. It will accommodate a winch and has plenty of clearance for the skid plate. And from my understanding there is a difference between the Rubi and Mojave skid plates.
DV8 offers a bed mounted tire carrier that can be lifted which may be useful for driving around with long items in the bed.

I bought them like that from Amazon

The Fishbone FB22178 winch ready front stubby bumper fit fine on my Mojave with no modifications to the skid plate and it accepts the fog lights as well. I'm heading out to Harbor Freight to get one of those Badland 1200lb winches this weekend.
Good to know because back spacing will definitely need to be a consideration when I get new wheels if I go with the 37s. So I think I'll be fine with no lift, regear (488 or 513) and new wheels. I may include upgrading the brakes. Decisions decisions....lol
I thought if I go from a 35 to a 37 I gain 2 inches of ground clearance, in terms of losing an inch in the wheel well that makes complete sense except I'm running a higher clearance fender so that should off set the 2 inch loss, right?
Along with the looks, I like the thought of the additional 2 inches of ground clearance which would help with urban off roading as in snow storms and pot holes and things of that nature.
I'm thinking of going from 35s to 37s on my non lifted Mojave and in terms of fit this should not be a problem without a lift. My logic being that along with the additional 1 inch front height advantage over the Rubicon I also installed new fender flares front and back that allow for additional...
Prior to purchasing the Mojave I did a little research and read this article that indicated it does come standard with the Max Tow Cooling Package. Which made sense because its a Desert Rated jeep.

Tonight is the second time I'm using my Trail Cover. The fist time it did the trick keeping the jeep dry during a pop up thunderstorm. We expect some thunderstorms later on tonight and tomorrow so on it went. Easy to put on and take off. It also fits well without having to remove my CMM side...
I was looking into getting a JCR Offroad rear bumper tire carrier but for some reason its no longer on their website. Another option I'm considering is the Wilco Vertical Tiregate.

I have a hardtop with the Bestop Sunrider, Its nice but I do like the idea of a full softop but without the man bun thing. I may pull the trigger and preorder the MyTop automatic Softop. Pricey for sure but wow the results look great. Check it out: MyTop Automatic Gladiator Top
IMO the 35s are an excellent choice when combined with a high clearance fender. You don't break the bank by needeing to regear or lifting and you get a good aggressive look some additional height and stock handling.
