Does this look bad? 35s vs 37s

[jeepmikey829]

Yea, unless you’re off road more often than not, 35 are just fine, 37’s especially without re gearing will just slow you down a ruin mileage. Love the 15” wheels ! That’s the ultimate size for off road, especially in soft sand.

They’re 17 inch AEV pintlers

have been lurking on the forums for a few months - 24 Mojave x that I’ve had since April of last year. Haven’t gone crazy first mod was pintlers with 35 inch KO2s. Just installed the aev 2 inch spacer lift and was going to trade up for fifteen52 wheels and 37 inch KM3s but am now wondering if the 35s are enough? Would prefer not to regear will take better photos tomorrow curious what everyone thinks

once is gets warmer have rock slider engineering steps going on next

Me..... Keep the 35s. Truck looks great. IMO there is more to 37s then just regearing. Ball joints and front suspensions will wear out much fester and when repaired will require better, pricier aftermarket parts. And while some may say don't worry about MPG, to many of us, it is a factor. 35s with 4.10 run the lights and highways great and are great off road too. Great looking set up as is. @jeepmikey829

Thanks guys. Will stick with 35s for now.
Only additions coming are front window tints, need warmer weather to install the rock slide engineering steps, and maybe I’ll go black lugs on the wheels along with bestop front top.

Here is a JTM with 35 x 11.5 x 17’s, 2 inch AEV lift, RSE sliders, to give you an idea. I like it and it gets as many compliments as my JTRD on 37’s.

Looks perfectly fine to me. Good too even. 2” AEV lift and 2” larger tires, even if only figuratively, just puts the overall look back into proportion.

I roll on narrower than the norm 35s (2 different sets-summer/winter) with an AEV lift as well, but hey… that is me and what I like. No interest in 37s.

Don’t know what year yours is or if it’s out in the sun a lot I did mine the day I picked it up to avoid the letters being burned into clear coat just don’t like letters and all that stuff on trucks. I’ve had 2 raptors and none had the vinyl by choice

I took everything else off and was good with a clay and buff, but those were on vertical panels so the sun didn’t lay on them as much. It’s garaged but I bought it used so I don’t know before I got it.

Give it a try. I personally hate all the badging - only time I kept it on was my TJ rubicons. I’d even take the circle badge off if not for the fact it would leave a random circle indent on the side.

I say hit pause and be satisfied and that advice comes from someone that sounds like you; never quite satisfied. And in the end you’re never satisfied and you’ve blown a lot of money. At minimum, spend more time getting to know the vehicle and then if there’s really something you just have to have, you’ll know it.

I’ve always been the same way, this is the first vehicle that I’ve left something on haha. Probably will do it when the weather warms up.

I'm actually going down to 35s FROM 37s.
I tow a small travel trailer and taking it down to Arizona really hit the wallet.
Plus I'm tired of wondering if I should regear.

I plan on going with some 35x10 baja boss.

IMHO it is dependent on the type of driving you do and if the 37s are for improved off road performance or just looks. I am going back to Moab for round #2 for EJS to attempt more BOH trails,. I am sticking with 35s for now as I will let the trails tell me what I need. My first time at Moab last year convinced me to upgrade to a 3.5 game changer lift from @Metalcloak.

Either way its your rig and an extension of you so do you!

 

[starrskream]

Bear in mind…Mojave’s and rubicons dont need to regear for 35’s. AFAIK with 37’s you’ll need to regear or risk damage.
im no expert, that just seems to be the consensus from what I’ve read online.
35’s look fine to me. That’s all I plan to get once I put a 3” lift on.

 

[MojaveLawyer]

Running 35s/12.50s with a 3.5incher MC lift.

Stay with the 35s

Cheers

I think 35s look great but I wouldn’t shy away from 37s. I have been running 37s and driven all over the US on 4.10s. MPG floats between 13mpg in places like Idaho and jumps up to 15.8 in flatter places New Mexico or Texas . I have towed with no issues. It’s definitely no Cummins diesel but I have had zero suspension or ball joint issues. The jeep has seen plenty of time off road . Keep up with your maintenance and you will be fine running either.
I do have a set of 5.13 gears for the jeep but am waiting til I get 3 or 4 days off in a row to slap them in.
The only downside is the jeep does accelerate a little slower but if I want to go fast….. I’ll drive the Charger

I think it looks great, white isn't my color but that's just me. I'm still running the factory wheels and tires on my '22 even after adding the Mopar 2" lift afterwards, that turned out to be more of a 3" lift. I'm going to do 35s next set of tires, I'm happy with it, but I do have those days when I look at it and think it looks like I'm running on doughnuts. Or my dad makes a random joke about 'driving down the street and was almost blinded by the glare coming off your shocks'. It was in good humor, we did the lift in the driveway.
