I'm running 35's with a 2.5" AEV lift with an auto transmission. 37's would necessitate re-gearing. With the 2.5, I have plenty of break over angle. I also saw almost no loss of fuel economy and it still gets into 8th gear. As for trails? My brother had a 2" lift and 35's and took the toughest trails in Moab. Yeah, he occasionally rubbed skid plates, but he had no issues and breakover was really never a problem. The main skid plate he rubbed was a hitch skid. The departure angle was the most limiting factor, but that skid plate did the job, so I have one on my Jeep. I'm on stock rims with 35x12.5x17 tires and they do just fine and wear just fine. And the heavier 37's put more wear on the drive train, over time. However, my next set will be 11.5" wide, as you suggested. I've had pizza cutters on my Wrangler and I feel they get better traction in most off road conditions than wider tires. Thanks for the video! Great information and advice for folks. I just think 35's and a 2" or 2.5" lift gets you on those hard trails with no problem.

We’ve debated this many times and it always comes down to the cost beyond just the tire. We added the full skid system from metalcloak and so far that has been a life saver. The cost of that would have been well worth it even with taller tires and taller lift. To be honest it’s a heavy tire to change on a trail but I would hate to struggle with the weight of anything bigger!

Based on one of your previous videos I equipped my 22 Rubicon Gladiator with a set of 35x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country ATIIIs (load range C) on Method 703s with 5.78" backspacing. This combination is actually lighter than my factory wheels with Falken ATs. Gas mileage stayed the same (with 4.10s) and actually improved with 4.88s. Debating Nitto 37x11.5x17 Recon Grapplers for my next set.

I have the 37x12.5 KO2s on stock Mojave wheels. There is a claim the they weigh less than other 37s- and it's true. The specs claim the tire is 36.5 diam new, but when I adjusted the computer, I did a courtesy check and found them to be 35.5 diam being like the best of both worlds, I decided not to complain (other than the fact that the techs that installed them programed the truck to 37 diam.- which made me think I was getting over 20 mpg) Other factors in th change- 2.5 lift and 1.25 spacers in front only

My personal experience is that a gladiator on 37s with a 3.5" lift and f&r lockers is the best combination of off-road capability yet still road friendly and can still haul stuff as designed while getting decent mpg. I have this setup and have wheeled the Rubicon, other local 6-7 rated difficulty trails, flogged it at the Oregon dunes, and wheeled it in deep snow. Has yet to strand me. Truck gets 16mpg on the highway, hauls dirt bikes in the bed regularly, and is still comfortable to drive. P.s. If you ever get a chance, you should try the new kenda klever mt2 tires. They have been phenomenal in all the above conditions and walked up obstacles on the 'con that other jeeps with nittos were spinning on.

For anyone who will be doing serious offroading and not building a Jeep for the malls, just go with the 37s! I went with the EVO 4.5" lift and re-geared to 4.88 on my JKU Rubi and am running Toyo Open Country MT 37x12.5 and it is fantastic! I thought about 35s and fuel mileage but at the end of the day, I didn't want to go to the trouble of doing a lift for 35" tires and then decide that I want to run 37s afterall and having to do this whole exercise twice! I went directly to 37s and have zero regrets!

Thanks for the comparison of 35s v 37s. I have been on the fence about which way to go. I just installed a Accuair system and need to upgrade wheels and tires. I have been thinking about the 37s. I just do moderate weekend wheeling. With the air suspension I can lower down for highway driving and get back some MPG. As long as the rest of the stock drive line can hold up to 37s I can replace gears later if needed.

That’s a big offset. The track bar is what determines the axle placement side to side. Either you need an adjustable one and/or there is an issue with the track bar bracket. If you take it to a good alignment shop, they can give you the exact degrees and measurements that your tracking is off front and rear. That’s what I would do.

@DrivingLine
@DrivingLine 10 ай бұрын
It might not be super obvious because the track bars have a few bends in them. If you have the high clearance track bar that works with the larger spare tire, that one would be even more challenging to see if it was bent. The track bar bracket, however should be pretty obvious if there is an issue there.

First of all, forgive me if my spelling is not very correct, I am French 😅! I ride a Mojave and am considering upgrading to bigger tires. My use is mainly travel, hunting, overlanding and a little off-roading but nothing extreme. I already have the AEV borah rims and was ready to buy BF KO2 35 12.5 x 17, but after watching your video I will certainly opt for 37'' I love NITTO tires but difficult to find in Europe and make them come double the price between taxes, customs duties and transport. So I'm going to stick with BF KO2s. I would also like to be able to drive with peace of mind by improving what is necessary to have a reliable unit. My question is: is the Specer Lift 2'' AEV sufficient for my use and what gear kit would you recommend (there are far too many references on the market) and in France it is very difficult to find someone who will guide me. I can't afford to make a mistake in my choice, I will have to bring these parts from the USA. Thank you in advance and congratulations on your channel. always interesting content

My Gladiator with the Flatbed has 5.38 gears and 40’s. There are definitely times on the interstate that I wish I had even more gear. I personally don’t think it’s worth moving to 40’s on stock axles. The main advantage of 40’s is to increase its performance off-road. I think you could do more (with less worry) with a 37 or 38 and 5.13 gears.

A 5.13 is a great ratio for a 37. You can also go 4.88, but it won’t hold overdrive gears as well on the interstate. The only advantage of 4.88 is that if you frequently do cruising speeds below 60 mph, the RPMs will be lower, which means you’ll get slightly better fuel economy. I went with 4.88, and if I had to do it again, I would’ve gone 5.13. All you need is a Tazer JL mini from Z automotive to recalibrate for the gear change tire size.

You actually don’t need a lift to run a 35 inch tall tire. You can do so easily without. If you would like to lift your Jeep, there are a lot of fantastic options. An AEV spacer lift is a good option as spacers will not change your spring rate. This means, if you’re happy with the ride quality now, it really won’t change with their lift kit. That offset would work fine, but you will push the tire a little bit away from the fender.

So long as you add a 1 inch front bump stop, you can properly cycle a 37 inch tall tire with as little as 1 inch of lift. However, if you really want to get more off-road performance, I would recommend going with at least a 3 inch suspension lift. There are lots of great options on the market (JKS, Rock Krawler, EVO, and so on). If you want the absolute most suspension travel, you’re probably going to want to look at an Evo manufacturing coil over kit.

Will a 37 inch spare tire fit with the stock rear track bar if it's aired down?
@DrivingLine
@DrivingLine 8 ай бұрын
In my experience, a true to size 37 will still hit the rear track bar. You have exactly 36.5 inches from the track bar to the receiver. It’s really tight.

Just based on esthetics you must go with 37" no question about it.

I have Clayton off road HD springs and a factory wrangler 392 shocks (which suck) It’s to stiff. I want a much more squishy and softer ride . Can I just get new/better shocks or do I have to get rid of the Clayton off road springs too ? I’d like to keep them if I can, any recommendations?
@DrivingLine
@DrivingLine 10 ай бұрын
The 392 shocks are valved lightly. So, if you feel it’s too stiff, I would recommend swapping out your springs.

I’m not sure there is a short enough spring on the market that would pair well with the stock shocks. I can tell you that BDS and JKS 3 inch lift springs run on the soft side, but I’m not sure how those would pair with stock shocks. You could maybe do shock extensions with those springs.

Why not pair your Clayton HD springs with the Falcons Clayton recommends? They’re adjustable and you’ll be getting the most out of the springs you already have. The stock shocks on 392s, Rubis and XR Rubis are trash. Some Falcons or Fox like Clayton recommends with their kits will set you straight.
