37x13.5r17 on Stock Rubicon

[MOrtiz]

Everyone im so excited that I wanted to share it on the forum. First a little background. This is my 1st Jeep, I purchased it in June rt before Father’s Day in sin city LV and I love the truck. I have done some light off roading but looking fwd to the trails.

I finally got my wheels and tires for my Gladiator and I am so happy with the turn out. I went with the ADD offroad wheels 17x9 with -12 offset wrapped with some BFG 37x13.5 KM3. I will be adding the 2” Mopar lift with the week but wanted to share the pics. Oh and I almost forgot to mention no rubbing. Let me know what you think.

Looks good. What did power and gas mileage do after the change? You went from 33 to 37? Not MPG matter in a Jeep but wanted to know anyway. LOL

Lol thanks man. Mpg lost about 2 mpg and power lost some too. Feels a little heavier.

Probably need to go to 4.88 or 5.13 gears to keep it from feeling like a slug with those monsters. 4.88 would put you in the groove. But... I like the beefy stance as it sits without a lift. Unfortunately not good for any articulation on trails. 2" lift might not give you much if you are going on medium or hard trails.

Thanks I plan on taking it to trails, this is my first jeep so well test it and go from there. I got the lift installed.

Looks good! Yea, you might be OK with the lift depending on how aggressive you are. Keep an ey on rear front fenders and rear fenders for any rubbing. A Power Commander may help you out until you decide on new gears.

Easiest way to check, is to put jackstands under the axles, see what it does removing the springs, and lower it to the bumpstops. You'll see where the tires are going to hit and rub. also measure your shock mounts like this to make sure they are the correct length fully compressed, and jack back up to check shocks fully extended.

Love the look, wow excellent job. How is the ride? I just got my first jeep(Gladiator Rubicon) and was worried about the ride and steering with the 2" mopar and 37's.

Thanks man, love the turnout and gotten many compliments. Ive had the tires for over 40k miles already. Feel vibration now but before rode really good no complaints.
