They Do Exist!!! 37X11.50R17

hey Eli,
In this pic, was your Mojave lifted? Any mods to suspension other than stock?
Looks great - I like your look!

At that time, not yet. Few months later I added 2” AEV lift kit.

Looks great! I was wondering if the Recon Grappler offered the aggressive look I was after (hey looks are important even on the trail LOL).

Thanks. The recons has 2 different side patterns. I chose the moderate side as the aggressive side seems overkill in my eyes.

And any spacers (before or after) lift?

Yes, I did months later because of a trip to Sand Hollow and Toquerville Falls. I wanted to be sure that there’s no rubbing whats so ever. I got this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VBX4QV5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

If you’re curious how it looks with all of those minor upgrades. Here you go.. I call it Mojave+. This is taken at Chocolate Thunder at KOH few weeks ago

So sweet - that’s dialed in and looking spot on!
I’ve got a guy telling me to go with adjustable front control arms and to skip the AEV geo brackets. I see a lot of guys putting them (the brackets) on, but this shop guy is telling me to absolutely skip them. Did you bolt on the geo brackets?
Your setup is nice - the 37x11.50 are definitely the way to go.
Thanks for the pics!

No geo brackets because my spare is 37x12.5 K02 and I have about 1/2“ of clearance with that spare and the stock rear track bar. I’m now saving up for either Clayton or Synergy track bars (front & rear) as they have that spare-clearance bent on them.
One warning about the skinny 37s. At first mount, they looked really skinny. What I’ve done to fatten them up, I drove around town with only about 26# and only air up to 36-38# on longer trips. Plus side of skinny 37s, it’s lighter, easy to steer, can do 90+mph, and peppy enough without re-gearing.

I'd skip the rear track bar and get the rock krawler triangulated 4 link instead. My mojave is way more smooth and stable since putting it on. The JT rear suspension is poorly designed from factory with long lowers and short uppers. The stock uppers were 15-16" if I recall correctly. The triangulated uppers are 24"+. This all but eliminates the crazy pinion angle changes you get under articulation with the stock setup. Eliminating the rear track bar eliminates the cross talk between front and rear when hitting bumps at an angle really reducing the side to side headtoss. And with no rear trackbar you don't have to worry about spare tire clearance at all.

Wow. I’m not aware of this. Will read up about this. Thanks

Obviously it's more expensive and complex to install than a track bar, but it's so much better too. By far the best $600 I've spent on the Jeep.

Yes agreed. Seems very fitting for us Mojave guys who actually likes to go fast
