37 regrets

[Nine Ball]

No clearance issues on road maybe but have you had that off road at full stuff?

Remember that the Mojave doesn't have a disconnecting sway bar like the Rubicon. Here is another stock Mojave on 37s.

Can you post pics of your Mojave. I’m debating on 35s over 37s on mine. I really don’t want to regear and I want to maintain the stock ride.

Here you go.

Here you go.

This has the Teraflex spacer lift on it. I wound up with 3” up front and 1.5” in the back due to the weight of the bumper and winch. When I put those on it had a noticeable rake which the extra 1/2“ up front fixed.

I regret not having 37's on the JK I traded, because that is what my 35's came off of!
The same tires sure seem a lot smaller on the Gladiator.
I can't really tell the difference of stock 33's vs 35's on the JTR. When these Pats wear out, I will get 37's and make a decision on re-gearing after I drive it awhile.

Is anyone having any regrets over going to 37s? Please tell me before I pull the trigger and shoot myself in the foot.

they will look amazing, but what type of driving will you be doing. are you towing ? lots of factors. i went with 35's looks good rides great no issues with highway speeds. when the 392 hemi comes out them maybe 37's.

If youre going to go 37’s its pretty important to regear; but i think 4.1 is too tall for 33” if theyre mud terrain.

comfort from 37’s has more to do with the size of the tire smoothing out the bump more than sidewall height. The Mojave Mt’s are only load range C.

Well we will soon see. Thev37s are going on as I sit here at The tire place they look HUGE. So I am really hoping that everyone who said you can run 37s on the gladiator for road travel is right ?

Nope no regrets There isn't much power loss and I drove fro near sealevel to 3400 feet. No rubbing as of yet. and the thing looks gorgeous beefey without being to over done. yeah I am stoked Now which lift kit?

Looks great. When your at full left or right turn any rubbing?

I have a 37" Ridge grappler at about 15PSI in the spare tire location. It clears my thicker adjustable track bar by about half an inch and is up against the trailer hitch.

I dont regret 37's one bit, truck handles it well and it looks great, i think 35's would have been too small, wifes stock JLUR is on 35's with stock tires and looks great, but the glad just needed more to me to look right!

i just ordered 35's after having the debate. I got a mustang all modded out and half reason i got gladiator was so mustang could not be a daily anymore.... but i debated the 37's vs 35's for last 3 weeks and gave into the 35's because I really don't want to touch mojave suspension what so ever, ever...

I also got them for $1277 shipped for mickey thompson baja bosses so that had a lot to do with it too but I just don't need to kill gas mileage anymore than I need too lol. Let's hope I don't change my mind but apparently they run 35's on the gladiator baja trucks so there's that!

Stock mojave without lift. No rub anywhere. These are bfg 37/12.5/17. No regrets at all!

 

[MojaveGadiator]

Totally agreed. I have 37s, AEV 2.5” lift , lower control arm relocation brackets, 4.88 gears, upgraded steering stabilizer on the wife’s JLUR. 25,000 mile ball joints shot. Pavement driving only.

I've had my jT for more than 4 years now, I just went from 37's to 38's after 3 of those four years.
So here is how it played out for me & my JTMT;

Started with a 2" lift. This was a waste of time and $'s for me, due to me wanting a trail rig that could also pull my 18' travel trailer (4000 lbs) This led me from 2" blocks added to my stock springs to a 6" suspension lift and from 34's to 37's. 37's led to 5.13 gearing (I wish I could have went lower but that leads to alot of stuff being replaced. But over all, the changes were good, I just wanted "wider tires" than 12.5, so I just did the 38's and it makes a little bit of a nicer ride and floatation, overall height difference is only 1/2" The gearing is the best bang for the buck with those tires tho. I just went to EVO 6.5" springs which actually raised the rear of my truck 5" higher than the "settled 4.5" springs on the 2" blocks. I'm hoping they settle a bit, but overall its much better for towing. I'll see how it is off road when I hit Ouray in a couple weeks. Disclaimer; I hate my truck as a daily driver, and its not nearly as much fun on the highway as my Supra, so it is just a "Play toy" its either pulling my trailer (its original intended task) or taking me to Moab, the woods or Ouray. Last trail we did was Cliff Hanger, and thats what led to 38's and a little more lift. Even with 6" of lift up front, the front tires can still kiss the fenders at full articulation, but thats the only place the tires ever touch, even at full left or right steering and full articulation-compression. So, if you are building a show rig, 37's look cool, if you are going to do some crazy trails, you need the right gearing, wheel off set, fenders, springs, shocks and tires. one thing leads to another if you want to do it correct. And my rig is not built very high end compared to a lot of rigs on this forum. Next thing I need is adjustable Hydraulic bump stops. This is JMO. Good luck with what ever you are aiming for.
