I have 35s and they run great. They look substantially better than the 33s and did not sacrifice any comfort in the ride at all. I have the Rubicon and did not make any adjustments to the ride height (leveling or lift). I have no issues lock to lock. I did lose a little fuel economy but not too terrible. I too was concerned with the ride of the 37s. I don't think you get any substantial increase in capability or looks by going to the 37s as compared to the drive comfort loss.

Stock rims? If not what offset?

Today, I'll find out if a 37" on custom wheel will fit up under in the spare tire position! <fingers crossed!>

Mine fit, but it’s tight.

Daily drive mine with 38x13.5. The transmission moves them easily and the brakes still feel strong. Sport w/ Max Tow (wide axles, 4.10s). Drives infinitely better than my JKU with 35s and 3.73s.

What lift do you have? Size wheels? Backspacing?

2.5" Evo Overland Stage One. It definitely nets more than the advertised 2.5" though.

Wheels are 17x9 with -12mm offset/4.5 backspacing.

Looks really good! I had my 35's and wheels purchased ready to install. Went over to a buddys house who had 37's on his gladiator. My wife took one look at it and said "I hope you plan on doing that, because anything else would look terrible, and I want that exact height." So...... sold tires, ordered lift, and now just waiting for black friday for new tires.

Thanks Man! Tires and Rims do so much for these trucks. Makes them look so much different!

Your 37s definitely look great!
Given you are running your stock LE wheels, did you have to use wheel spacers so that your 37s wouldn't rub?

I am currently running synergy 1.75in wheel spacers. Although I have had the spacers installed since the truck was stock so I am not sure if the 37s would had rubbed or not :/. I know for sure they don’t with the spacers on lol

Great discussion on the pros/cons of both tire sizes! I did 37's on my JKUR with a 3.5" lift, and added front axle sleeves, C-Gussets, heavy duty ball joints and Tom Woods driveshafts to make sure nothing would break on trails. Other than the cost, I loved the look and capability of that rig. With my Gladiator I decided to take a more modest approach with just a 1" puck lift and 35's since its a DD most of the time with occasional (planned) once a month wheeling in the mountains. My advice is to go with whichever setup you like most and can afford.
