Gladiator Willys 2021
Hi Everyone - newbie here with a week old Black Willys Limited Ed. I have been doing research for months and wanted to run these ideas by you all for feedback on pros and cons, and if it will even work. I will not be doing any major rock climbing or off roading, 95% city driving with tough snowy winters, and the occasional family camping trip in the summer.

Would a 1.5 Teraflex level kit (with shock extensions), AEV 17 Pintler wheels and 34s work together without changing much in terms of handling and a need for a regear? Would this result in a 1.5 increase in height with approx 1 inch off the ground? Is it even possible to get BFG KO2's in 34s that will work with a 17 wheel? Also, how would I go about getting a slightly wider stance (would like the wheels to stick out a bit more than stock but nothing major).

That should work fine. Wheels with negative backspacing or some wheel spacers will make the tires stick out a bit.
Thank you! Much appreciated. The wheels I am looking at have less of a pos offset so based on the tiresize.com looks like they will be 1.86 further out. Was originally looking at the pintler but now looking at mopar performance wheel with a +12mm offset vs the +44mm OEM Willys rim.
