Help me decide to go 35s or not on Mojave!

that second pic is awesome.

the breakover angle is what changed my mind from 35’s on stock set up (my original plan) to going to 2” fabtech lift on 37’s.

Here is my rubicon stock wheels BFG ko2
37 -12.5 no rubbing unless I try to get them to by really cranking hard while stuffing the tire

Coming from a 2020 JLU diesel to the 2021 Mojave, the engine in this thing feels so underpowered and cries to baby Jesus going up steep inclines at high altitude on the interstate. It already needs lower gears than 4:10 with the stock 33" tires, but it sounds like 35" tires don't make much difference anyway since it's already gutless. That should hold me off for now, but the minute Jeep drops the diesel or a HEMI in the Mojave, this one's getting traded back in.

I solved that by putting AMWs HEMI conversion package into mine

35/11.5/17 on a stock 2021 Mojave. Drives the same as stock. Engine already screams with stock tires and these make zero difference.

Same here, max tow, 4.10s, for me there was a noticeable difference between the stock 245/75/17 and the 285/75/17 I switched to.

Same for me, but i still average 18-20 highway

OP

up to you but if you flip through the forums and look at a lot of owners that put on 35 or 37s they ultimately end up complaining about losing eighth gear, the power loss, the loss of miles per gallon, and then start looking at regearing.

It’s a to each their own thing but as far as I’m concerned I like the way the truck looks with the 285s. And since I sit inside of it and use it more than I stand outside of it and look at it, the performance was more important for me.

285/75/17 is as large as ill go.

Very true and I will be getting something between 60-65lbs. Weight is a huge factor. Does anyone know how much the stock Mojave alloy wheels weigh?

Mine weighed 91 lbs (tire and stock Mojave wheel). I'm looking at lighter as I like a bit more acceleration. According to their website, the stock 285/70-17 Falkens are 62 lbs, so about the ame weight as many of the 35's already posted. The wheels will vary, but can't see too much of a difference unless you go solid and steel wheels.

For the interim, running the 255/80-17's Falkens that were on my sport. They're about 10lbs lighter than the stockers and the drivability is noticable (they're skinny tires though!)
