IF you are asking now, just go 37.
If you go 35, you'll keep asking, 'well, what if I went 37?'
JUST DO IT.
:LOL:

I was debating it too but 37's cost about a grand more and then on top of that your look at all the additional wear and tear cost further down the road and large decrees in gas mileage the cost of the upgrade just not worth it to me as a daily driver. I don't offroad much either so I settled with the 35"s and I'm happy. With the money I saved I did order me a daystart 2" lift :P

I will agree with most when they say 37" do look bad ass! lol

I am loving my 315/70/17 KO2 so far. Quiet, comfortable (set at 30 psi chalk test) and they look amazing :) Can't wait for the lift :D

That’s exactly the debate I was having. Admittedly, there is more road noise, but I’m not sure if 35s would have been much better. For the tires I ended up with, the 37s were only $200 more. Part of the allure...

I have less road noise with my 35" KO2 than I did with the 33" Falcon Wildpeak AT3W

I went with 37” Cooper STT pros and the 3.5” rough country lift. I debated heavily between 35s and 37s. I’m very happy with the results.

Are you having any rubbing with the stock rims?

Do you wheel in it? I'm hoping to get away with a 2.5" lift on 37's. It will mostly be a daily driver, but plan to take it to Moab a few times a year. Mostly just some moderate trails. Anyways, curious how the 3.5" works for you if you think its defiantly needed or if 2.5 will work.

In my experience, 2.5" is plenty for 37s. I'm running Evo's 2.5" with 38s and wheel it. @Renegade has Daystar's 2" and 37s and wheels his pretty hard. Pics for reference.

Ha! I was just reading his post with the 2" and am seriously leaning this way after readying about it. Thanks for the info!

No problem. Can't wait to see how your build progresses!

Having no jeep experience, I'm wondering if i should just keep the 33s and then upgrade when they wear out?...How long do the 33s that come on a rubicon typically last? Can you get 60k miles on them?
If you have deeper pockets, go for what you want and spend the money making corrections as needed. If not, run the stock tires out and save your money while becoming more familiar with the rig in its stock configuration, so that when you're ready to buy, you're better informed of its capabilities and needs.

33 BFG M/T on my '14 JKU lasted 40k with 99% street use, the rest mild to challenging trails.

It will be interesting to see how the Falken M/T holds up. I wouldn't expect 60k out of them.
