Awesome thanks. One last question. What's your thoughts on the Fox 2.0's paired with the Overland plus?
Those are the most popular shocks we see paired with our kit! The Overland Plus kit is designed to be the ultimate daily driver/weekend warrior style lift, and the Fox 2.0 shocks fall right into that category as well! We even use them on a lot of our own vehicles.

That's exactly the kind of stuff I needed to hear.

Should I upgrade the steering stabilizer with the kit or will my factory stabilizer cut it?

It's not something you have to upgrade, but it is something we highly recommend if you plan on running anything over a 35" tire to help maintain a proper steering feel.

That's good. I'm on 33's and will only go to 35's once they wear out. I'm not a tire guy. I'll probably replace it anyway because it will look pretty. lol

Thank you!

I thought of another question. Do I need a relocation bracket for the steering stabilizer? It doesn't look like it comes in the kit.

I enjoy the Kendas. 35x10.5R17 held up nice so far. I would have went with Nitto if they had the 11.5 in a 17. But, you can’t beat the price on these tires!

I don’t have any issues. Very smooth. I have the 6 speed manual transmission and never use 6th gear on the highway. Can still get around 21 MPG on the highway and 18-19 around town.

2020 Rubicon Gladiator
Here's my setup with 3" lift (Rancho) and the Kenda 35x10.5r17 on stock Rubicon rims. I put spacers on them to poke them a bit Has been great for towing etc and I never bothered to adjust the pcm for tire size... cause the shift points and speedo seem to be very close to stock.

Thinking of studding them... or grabbing 4 more studded ones for winter.

Hi, were you able to fit the same 37x11.5x18 up into the spare-tire location under the truck bed? If so, did you do that with it fully inflated, with the stock rear track bar and heat-shield in place? Thanks!

37x11.50x18 Ridge Grappler on stock 7.5” wide Overland rims w/ 1.5” wheel spacers and Mopar 2”. Switched from 35x12.50x18 because I like the tires under the flares and the military look. The 12.50 just didn’t look right on a 7.5” rim for my taste.

I love the look! Did you add the spacers because you were rubbing with these tires? I'm desperately looking for some examples of a 2" - 2.5" lifted Rubicon that has these 37/11.5/r18 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires (or the new 37/11.5/r17 Nitto Recon Grappler A/T), and what kind of wheel offset/backspacing is working for them. Do you have the wider axles in your rig? And I'd love a picture straight down the side to see the poke. Thanks!

Yeah, the spacers are needed on the standard width axles with the stock backspacing. I’ve read it’s super close with the wide axles with some reporting rubbing and others not. Zero rub with the 1.5” spacers and it puts the tire just flush with the outside of the Rubicon flares. It will push them outside the standard flares. Also, you may need to “gut” the standard flares to not get rub at full stuff, since they sit about 1.5” lower than the Rubicon flares.

This is my first and last set of ridge grapplers. They are an absolute rubbish tire that are good at nothing. I’d either go with a dedicated AT or MT tire. The ridge grappler is terrible in the rain and absolutely scary in the snow. It’s also not impressive offroad. I will likely go back to KO2’s for the snow here in CO. If I didn’t have to worry about snow, I’d go dedicated MT.
