I have a sport s and I’m installing a RC 2.5 spacer lift for now bc I cant wait for what I really want. Found a killer deal on 35inch KM2s. $500 for 5 of them. Am I going to regret going 35s or should I just order the 37s I want.

Buy now- get 37's when you get the lift that you really want.

Think about whats involved going 37’s to have the truck drive right and drive how you want. Also remember that to the eye, 37’s arent much bigger than 35’s

I have 35s on 17s with mopar lift and about to order 20 inch wheels with 35s. Personally, I think 35s drive better than 37s, and I wasn't really looking to dump another 2500 to re-gear. I may do it eventually but stick with 4.56 gears. 37 look cool, 35s drive better with stock configuration. if you do any sort of hard wheeling, 37s would be my choice. It all depends on what you looking for.

It takes more to make 37’s drive right. Gears FOR SURE. Ball joints. Tie rod. Drag link. Steering stabilizer. Etc. i fully own that the ONLY reason im on 37’s is because the Mojave specific lift looks weird with 35’s. I love how my truck drives now, but had the AEV spacer kit been available i probably would have gone with that and 35’s.

Rc 3.5, control arm brackets, and 37s here. Search my previous posts for pics. I put on the 37s before lift and the fit. Just need to remove plastic cover behind fogs. DO NOT offroad without lift. Personally recommend 35 with 2.5", or 3.5" min for 37s. If ur sea level, regear is not necessary. Over 1k ft, regear becoms necessary. I'm in FL and no regear, drives perfectly fine, no issues, alignment is on point. Offroading is good too. Only rub on extreme articulation or Baja running while bouncing around. Love the look.

I got 35's and immediately regretted it. I just had 37's installed that I found for $550 installed and I sold my 35's for $600 Friday. I'll say this, get what you want don't settle. If you got to 4.10 gears and you get the 35's your gonna want the 37's. If you get 37's and you got 3.73 gears then your gonna wish you went with the 35's. That's my advice, I got 4.10 gears and got 35's and within a month I was wishing I had went with the 37's been looking around ever since because the wife said until they wear out I was stuck with them. I found the 37's and she agreed because I told her I could sell the 35's and make the money back. The difference in performance is about 1mpg loss on the 37's in mine. Went from 18.3 to 17.3 average over all. I can live with it.

There is a old saying and I just said a few days ago, buy once cry once

Unless you are going to spend the majority of your time off-road-- 35's are better for a daily driver. Better pairing with a 2.5" lift too...

I have the 3.73s but this isn’t my first jeep. Last one was 4.88 on 37s and before that it was 4.56 on 35s. They both had plenty of power with the old 4.0 i6. I just found a killer deal for 5 tires. 35x12.50. I’m gonna go that route bc as of now I will not wheel it that often. Once that changes I’ll swap the lift and go big. Thank you everyone for the input. Lift won’t be here until the 16th so I have some time. I’ll post pics when it’s all set

So I caved and got the 37s instead. Couldn’t pass this deal up $400 for (5) 37x12.50 Goodyear MTRs. And one of them is brand new. Others only have about 5k on them. I got lucky. The guy upgraded to 40s so they were available.

Looks great! Just got my Glacier White Rubicon. Still deciding on wheels and tires but my question to you is what lights and mounts are you running on your A pillar? I love the way those look

Thanks!
