Lift and build should always be a function of the intended use. If only for mall crawling, then 40's on 44's with 5.38 (small pinion gear) will do just fine, heck don't forget the 20 inch rims and rocker guards with 4 inch drop steps for the passengers. If going for actual wheeling on terrain like Moab, Rubicon, Windrock, and AOP, then the jeep needs to be built with all the heavy duty gear which means $$$ that's just a fact. If the jeep person desires and all around sort of do anything / daily driver set up, then the JLUR is excellent choice for 3.5 to 4.5 inches of lift, flat fenders, 38's or light 39's (for a true 37 or 38) Chrome molly shafts, Adams CV drive shafts, 4.88 gears (for the 8 speed auto), Teraflex HD draglink, Steesmarts HD tie rod with high steer kit, winch, bumpers, and all the other goodies. (yes that's my set up as seen on my channel jeepNdirt) and unfortunately that's $$ too but doing it right from the get go just ensures peace of mind when running around on 2k mile trips on and off road and then driving home. Unless you're going long arm, Metalcloak control arms have the most misalignment and true centered bushings at ride height. If folks don't like the gold, then paint them and you're all good. The M210/M220 Rubi axles even with the FAD have proven to be reliable. Can you damage it, sure you can but keep in mind these are 32 spline axles shafts with 1350 u-joints from the factory, that's old school dana 60 stuff. For comparison in the 90's we were using ford 8.8 axles with 31 splines from 5000lb ford explorers designed for 5k towing capacity and V8 to upgrade the rear axles on our YJ's and TJ's that weighed 4500lbs with 37's and then 40's. Note: if anyone does check out my jeep on my for fun channel, know that I recently received a free ultimate D44 axle for the front of my jeep and is the only reason I have it, otherwise I'd still be running the factory front M210 axle. (The free was due to another driver not paying attention and sort of taking out my right front wheel / knuckle.) Note: Everything stated above is fact specifically my opening comment about building for intended use. My all around may not be the best all around for the next guy and so on. I love my set up, and I share the build when folks ask, but the one comment I always state is "build it for you" and "a jeep is never really completed" as there's always something we'll want to change. Remember, "It's Your World, Explore It!"

I just replaced my 37" Milestar Patagonias with the 37" Cooper STT PROs and they perform a lot better off road than the Milestar's did. I live in Georgia red clay country and we put them to the test out here...COOPERS all day long. ✌✌ Great videos!

[@thekraken2815]

I just put the same 3.5" lift on my gladiator. Went with the 35" goodrich KM3 and i absolutely love the look and feel of it!! I gained almost 8" in height in total. So new side steps on on the way now!

[@ricardolopezdevictoria1109]

37 will allow more flex, nothing worst than seeing a jeep with 4" lift and three inch bump stops! My two cents! Flex should matter both directions Upwards and Downwards

[@bobnoblesjr.465]

I'd go with the new Nitto Trail Grappler size 38/13.50/17 on Hutchinson Monster beadlocks. They're DOT approved ,( one of a very few,) and look great.

[@barker316]

great advice!

[@lizzyliz3194]

I went with 37 Yokohama all-terrain, 20inch moto metal Sniper, with 3.5 Tera flex lift & falcon shocks💕

[@johnnyjangles8528]

Wheels: since you are on the fence on wheels Dirty Life DT you can go either way and they look great. Tires: I love my General Grabber X3's...great compound and quiet on the street. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@danielkwiatkowski4489]

Falken has been stealing the market. I have them on my Jeep and 1 ton truck. Love the tires. No issues with noise or balancing. Great tires.

[@jshulch]

Firestone Destination MT2s. Hands down the best tire I've ever run on a Jeep or truck. I've had them on my JK for three years, 48,000 miles and they're still going strong. About to buy another set for my JL. 37s are as large as they make though.

Super jealous of this jeep. Love the color and the height of it. Thanks for putting out such informative content!

[@OldBlue62]

Great feedback and more good reviews on Clayton’s stuff. Thanks!

[@leerfarmer]

Thanks for sharing, I'm new to the jeep community, and am slowly learning. Videos like yours are very helpful.

[@midwestiowashooter]

Just bought their full performance package with your code for my Gladiator. Thank you for the great content!

[@mudlight8462]

I just got this same lift for my 392, waiting on the shocks and tires to come in to install. Thanks for the preview of what I have coming, I can’t wait to get it mounted up onto the Jeep!

[@jeepingwithjon]
