35s or 37s?

[FLUndertaker]

Haha I have exactly 5” of clearance but it’s at an angle so I’m not sure it’ll fit once the lift is on.

My COR 2.5" Kit netted me 4.06" lift in the front and 3.4" lift in the rear. If you have 5" clearance, you are going to be damn close with the 3.5" kit. COR definetly over delivers on the lift unlike most other manufacturers. good luck.

Had 35’s on my JK and not a day went by that I didn’t want 37’s. Didn’t make that mistake this time around.

Love the bumper. What was done to get the color match?

nvm... I saw the High Altitude after reading your build and see the HA includes a color matched bumper.

Do you have a Rubicon, I was told by Clayton that I would get 4 1/4”.

Did you get the Overland Plus or RideRight?

I'm opting for the 3.5 Overland Plus (do it right the first time) with 37's... on my JTR.

Overland Plus. I was going to get the premium but my build is for the road 90% of the time so it’ll be more comfortable with the plus.

I went to Jeep Jam 2 weeks ago at Myrtle Beach, SC and took my stock JTR on the 'easy' obstacle course. I knew immediately that 33" tires were no longer going to cut it. I now have 37"s. I'm also in the camp of not immediately re-gearing as the 4.10 gears plus 8 speed auto handle them well. (I dont have a lead foot)

The 37s fill the Rubicon wheel well perfectly too.

For those of you who went with the 315/70/17 KO2, What diameter did you put in with your Tazer/flascal to get the speedometer calibrated? I will be getting my 315/70/17 KO2 installed late this afternoon and would like to know what worked for everybody else.

Thanks

33.5” here, they are 34.4 nominal without weight on them but 33.5 with weight of truck

35 - 11.5 - 17 - stock wheels. Looks stock - want to keep it simple on the Mojave.

I lasted 6 months on 35's before going to 37's.

same with me. Went to 35s because I wanted to go no lift but the truck seems to beg for 37s. 35s really don’t look much different from stock. 37s or even 38s seem to be perfect with the long wheelbase. I lasted about 6 months on 35s and then moved up to 37s.

40’s.

35’s and 37’s are for jeeps that are stock stock or have small spacer lifts At the most. Theyre yesterday’s news, and you cant really wheel or ‘Gram tires that small and get anywhere.

 

[KurtP]

Kidding. Its actually not that big a difference. IMO id say 35’s for a small lift on most models; 37’s if youre doing a suspension lift. Just remember in either case you’ll want to regear, and you only want to do that once.

here is my stock Mojave on 37’s next to a Rubicon on 35’s. Unknown mods on the Rubicon, it *looked* like a leveling kit. The 37” on my stock Mojave looks stupid IMO, but will be perfect when my lift shows up. If i was staying stock i would have gone 35’s.

Agreed. The good news is I am not out a ton of money. The 35's I snagged off the JK before I traded it in, and my buddy bought them for his Sport S Max Tow. All is good in this Gladiator neighborhood.

Meaning the 2.5 is wrong? That is a pretty ignorant statement.

Agreed. The COR 2.5 is perfect for 37s (it actually measures out at well over 3”) and it still fits under a standard garage door. The 3.5” would not have.
