nice looking rig, looking for feedback on the 39" km3's have you re geared yet/ did you have to do any steering upgrades? what did you find you needed to do to run these? debating if I should run the 37's but I know they run small just tryna figure out if the 39's would be overkill and will need a bunch of mods to run them thanks

You'll definitely need to regear. I upgraded my steering and had the Steering box TSB done. I'll be doing the Ball joint delete kit very soon as well. Jeep drives awesome with the 39s though. And just works offroad.

thanks for the feedback, I was thinking of regearing regardless even with 37’s is there a recall for the steering box all across for all gladiators or are there certain criteria to meet to have it done at a dealership, you also mentioned i ton steering right?

Those of you running 37s should mention if they will fit in the spare location or not. Not all 37s are true so wondering which ones can get up under there.

Why not, if your running oversized tires don’t you want a full size spare? Gonna ruin your diffs if you gotta swap out a spare any time, or you meaning your gonna run a spare in your bed, personally I want to keep my bed open for hauling stuff so that’s why my 35 is under the bed, like to hear more opinions though...

Don't get touchy-when U R younger it may be easy to Haul a 110 lb tire out of the Mud to replace a flat but at 72-It ain't that EZ-Think about IT!

Very true.. (I’m used to semi tires) and I’m 30 but what’s your plan though if you have to put a spare on? Just curious?

I’m running 37/13.50R20 Milestar Patagonia MT Tires. I ordered the same tire but for the original stock 17” rim. Fit is tight but with some persuasion was able to get spare mounted underneath. Also lowered air pressure some, as well. Nonetheless, am carrying
the 37” Patagonia underneath.

I Ordered a Wilco Rig that will attach to the bed rack and fit between the wheel well at the tailgate side of the bed. It's in the mail so I should know soon how it works. Easier than hands and knees!
