To take this further, what the dealership has to do is actually send some info to Jeep and have them provide the new flash file for your vehicle depending on the tire size. I assume this has to do with the mileage/mpg/shifting differences due to the larger tire and keeping everything legal since having an odometer that isn't "actual" can cause issues for service/selling.
That makes more sense. They didn't really explain it to me but it makes sense with your explanation as to why it is necessary. Appreciate the help.

I’m also going to agree, god that looks awful. It reminds me of the Toyota Tacoma’s in Hawaii with the 3” spacers behind the wheels. I’m going to stick with no lift and 35’s stock wheels. IMO, that is going to be the sweet spot. Also I don’t think there will be any issue with a true 35 or 315/70R17 with rubbing as the Glady was designed with adding 35’s in mind with no addition modifications. Further more I don’t want to mess with the geometry of the drive line and add increased wear and tear. 0.02 for the record. Someone will buy it though.
Curious, is this the setup that you ended up going with? 35’s and no lift? Mind sharing some pictures if so?

I hear you man! I have 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers as well, trying to make a final decision on the wheels. Going with something 17" for sure, just not sure which wheels 100% yet.

I have a 2in Mopar lift awaiting my JT, shit just needs to get here. It's 2 days late so far, hoping today is the day. The 37's look good, but honestly I kinda like the 35's I've seen better. I really need to see a few more before I can make a final decision.
What did you end up going with?

I just had slightly used 37 12.50 Yokohamas mounted on +10 mm offset wheels. These are going to be for wheeling only. I'm going to run my 33s into the ground and get some skinny 35s for daily driving. I have a Mopar 2" lift and stock bumper.

Are 37s going to hit the bumper or the rock sliders while wheeling? Back in the day I took a Mazda on Toy axles to Katemcy Rocks in Mason, TX. One of the fronts wedged in my homemade rock sliders and exploded the birfield. I had to replace the birfield and then cut down the sliders. I'm trying to avoid trail damage if possible. :)

Looks good, Your best bet to check rubbing is if you have access to forklift or something of that nature to check your flex and see if there’s any rub points

I do have a tractor with pallet forks. I think I'll do that. :D

From what I can see it does look like I have some sag with it. Running the ZEON 10S. Not sure how much it weighs but with the mount I’d guess close to 130lbs.

What is on the front of the bumper? Where the frame horns are, your plastic sticks out really far...
