Devils advocate of upping tire size.

This is mine on 35s vs 37s a couple months later. I settled for 35s and kind of regretted it knowing that I wanted 37s. So in the shop it went for a regear to 5.13s and 37s.

That looks fantastic.

That looks fantastic.

I have added metalcloak fenders since that pic and upgraded the steering with rpm. Talking about devils advocate I think upgraded steering should be on your list if your going 35s or larger.

How are those Toyo RTs?

Happy with them so far. I was looking for an alternative to the BFG AT. I’ve run those on everything for the past 10+ years. They look more aggressive IMO and they’re pretty quiet.

I did 37" Goodyear MTR Kevlars, Method Bead grip rims, Clayton 3.5" overland Plus, lift, Falcon SP2 3.3 shocks, and 5:13 dana spicer gears... What an unbelievable difference while 4wheeling. The capabilities of the truck are unbelievably increased off road with these upgrades. The articulation, grip, clearance, torque, fun, confidence inspiring is fantastic. We have been having so much fun with our group 4wheeling almost every weekend. The only thing I regret is that I did not get it done sooner. I did these upgrades a 20K miles, and now I am at almost 40K miles with tons of off-road miles, and I have not had any issues at all. The truck has been extremely reliable. Note: mine is a JTR stick shift.

Can i see a pic, I am planning the same lift with a stick shift in white. 37s too.

You regearing first? I'm sticking to 35s because I don't trust jeep, and I'm still worried about warranty issues if I regear. I'd love to though.

Current plan is 3.5" overland lift plus wheels/tires first. Regear a year after

You can click my build link on the left of this post to see everything about my truck, including how it 4 wheels with a stick. The last video going through the 2 rock gardens at Holcomb Creek trail show you what granny gear with 5:13s can do in a JTR. Here are a couple of pics:
