I have Rubi as well. I haven't installed my Clayton 2.5" Overland+ yet. I installed my Toyo Open Country MTR 37x12.5R17 on my new wheels that have 4.5BS and -12 Offset. I've been running on it for almost 2 weeks now with no lift and no Rub and can make U-Turns.

Any pictures of the 4.5BS and -12 offset from the front/rear. Trying to decide on -12 or + 1.

Going to try the same u til I figure out what route to go on my Mojave.

Do you notice much power loss?

Actually, I have not. Then again, I haven't carried or towed anything since I swapped out her shoes. I'm planning to regear to 5.13. I will decide to regear after I take her out trailing and/or towing a trailer. The Gladiators automatic transmission is definitely better than my old 2010 JKU, definitely had to regear when I went to 37". Then again, the 3.8l caravan engine sucked as well. 😉

It will rub the fenders off road unless you add bump stop spacers.

1.5” leveling kit and 37s. I did not add the bump stop spacers. Just kisses flares off roading when disconnected.

I have a JTR & ran 37x20s without a lift with no rubbing on Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts. I did end up lifting it later with a 3-3.5” JKS J-Venture lift & gearing to 5.13s. I think It looked better without the lift but I’m adding more to it. The biggest improvement was the gearing, increased MPGs, proper shifting, regained power etc. this was a necessity.

I just bought a 23 Gladiator Mojave in Punkin w/body color hard top and fenders. I love your set up. What wheels and tires are you running?

I was able to run 37x13.5 r17 on my Method wheels before I installed my lift.

No rubbing.

Gas or Diesel?

I added a 2” Rusty’s advanced lift kit, with longer bump stops and kept the leveling kit. Started getting rub on the sway bar up front under flex and still kisses the flares under flex off road - attribute this to more flex.
