Rubicon with 37s?

[TJDave]

Well- how did it tow?!?! I assume no different except tow bar angle/height which was minimal?

First planned camping trip isn't until mid April...as of today. I'm sure it will be just fine. Picture above with RV is from last season on 35's. All I had to do for tow bar angle was reverse the two hitch tighteners on the hitch and riser. That gained me the inch I needed.

I’ve got 37’s on my rubi with stock gears and I was surprisingly impressed. Drives great and even get 8th gear. I am regearing but mostly because I’m going to be towing with it (going 5.13’s) but wouldn’t do it right away if I wasn’t towing. I’d start with them and then see how you like it.

I went with 37 inch milestar Patagonia tires on my 2020 Jeep rubicon gladiator and I love the look and the ride Is great and it moves down the road with no problems it has the 4:10
gears with a 2.5 leveling kit up front and 3/4 rear spacers in the rear

What rims are those? They look good.

No question ... you go 37” you must go gears ...4:88 at a min. Just did mine.

I also went from 35's to 37's recently. If I didn't have the 4:1 Rubicon transfer case, I would be looking more seriously at a re-gear. 4lo is not compromised in any way off road, unlike my previous Jeep with the non-Rubi transfer case and larger tires. I had to re-gear that one. Constantly on the brakes on steep down hill off road trails.
I see 8th regularly on level sections of hiway. Re-programming with a Tazer mini made a huge difference. It shifts better than it did with 35's before I bought the Tazer.
I also will probably go back to 35's someday, when this JT turns in to a mall and forest road cruiser. So for now, I am staying with the stock gears.

Hi Dave, what type and size of a lift did you install? I like the way yours sits and that exactly the look I am trying to get for mine.

Roughly $1500 all in for Yukons.
