2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys
Hello,

I just acquired a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys and absolutely love it. It was within my lower budget and it had very low mileage and in the hydro blue color that I wanted. I have replaced the stock 32” mud terrains with 285/75/17 (34”) Toyo Open Country AT3s and have put a Teraflex 1.5” levelling kit on the front. I think it drives great and looks pretty damn good. I would love to have put a 35x12.5 tire on it but I didn’t want to get rid of the stock rims and I feared that the truck would drive terribly with the stock 3.73 gears. My only issue is that the gap is a little small between the bottom of the fenders and the top of the tire. I was wondering if the truck would look a little better with the smaller Mopar lift? Do you guys think the Mopar lift would make my 34” tires too small even with the lower Willys fenders? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

I think it looks fine as is.

I had a 2021 WILLY in the exact same color and briefly ran 35's with it and can confirm with 3.73 gears, it is not ideal and you will hardly ever see 8th gear in that setup.

As to the MOPAR 2" lift and your 34's, it will be subjective but would look no different IMHO than a stock Rubicon with 285-70-17's and high line fenders that come with it.
