Could stock 35's be coming to the JT??

[FitfulGoat]

My guess is MOPAR lift and 4.56. Doubt they mess with the transmission, far easier to do gearing.

The photos of the wrangler in the link certainly make it look like a mopar 2” is installed.

My Sahara has a Mopar 2-inch lift and 35-inch tires. I am 6’0” tall and I need to use the grab handle and the side steps to climb into it.

A Rubicon with 2-inch lift, 35-inch tires and rock rails is going to be a bitch to get into for 90% of the buying public. Jeep is going to have to address that somehow.

Perhaps include the optional rock rails with built-in side steps in the package.

It will be interesting to see what, if any suspension and drivetrain mods Jeep makes for the 35's.

Actually, if I remember correctly, when the JT came out, they said the rubicon JLR, JLUR, & JTR come with the higher clearance fender flares and can therefore fit 35’s stock. And the “bead lock capable” Mopar rims are wider than stock rims to accommodate wide tires. On top of all this, there was another article a while back about jeep building an upgrade facility so people could order said mopar upgrades to their Jeep’s and it would be installed before ever arriving at the dealer and be included in the warranty. Could this article be referring to that? You order a wrangler or gladiator and get it delivered with 35’s already on it.

High Altitude package has been running dubs for a year.

If they use 20" factory rims instead of 17s someone needs to be fired.

275/55R20 stock configuration.

On the high altitude sure, not on the 35" option though.

True.

They should have had bigger tires from the day the truck was offered based on what they charge for the truck but it would lose its MPG rating I suppose

Or don't buy it with 35's...

Yeah bring it. Soon it will all electric with 1000 mile range on 40s

I wonder if that has anything to do with the recent spate of dealers being "unable" to recalibrate for larger tires?

Letting the darker part of my brain run free for a minute... Fiat gave Jeep a pretty long leash with the JL/JT. There are a LOT of details that the bean counters and lawyers at GM would never sign off on. if "A" is dealers' inability to recalibrate speedos, "B" is 35s as a factory/dealer option likely for 2022, and A+B=C, what is C? Will the Tazers and JL Scans be locked out? What else would they make impossible or much more difficult for the end users to do in the name of increasing sticker prices? Let's be honest with ourselves, Jeeps are cash cows. Jeep's engineering department has about as much to do as Porsche's design department (come to think of it, the Jeep design department hasn't exactly been busy in any conventional way), and the prices are sky high anyway. Stellantis seems to be proving that dropping an engine out of a $32K pickup into a similarly priced SUV results in an $80K price gouge... What's next?

Depending on your perspective, the aftermarket is one of the Jeep platform's most powerful assets OR one of the greatest missed opportunities...

I keep hearing this, but my dealer in California has no problem flashing the Speedo and the shift points when going up to 35's

Soon depends on your definition of soon. Soon to humans? No. Soon to the solar system? Sure I will give you that

True bead lock wheels are illegal for street use in some states. I don't see Jeep offering an illegal vehicle for purchase.

There are DOT approved wheels out there that are legal in all states.

Well it has in the past the Renegade package on the Liberty is not N.J. compliant and few others States due to built in "aux" lights on roofline.
