[@Stormtrooper-iy5ld]

I love those brown wheels

[@March1966]

Nice vid.! I went with 35’s on a 2.5” budget boost. With stock rims a needed wheel spacers but had already trimmed my stock fenders, lots of room for flexing that way.

[@laurencehiggins239]

Did you notice a big difference in performance? Some say yes, some say no. I have a 3” lift and currently on 33’s. My 35’s arrive next week.

[@russking7671]

Ryan I must say these are the Best, Complete, Informational videos available!...Great job! I have the same year and model of Jeep and am now looking forward to installing this 3" lift. Keep the videos coming, I love to see all the new information available!

[@Shakshuka69]

Pro tip: the width of the tire is far more problematic than the height, and just about every 35 for up to a "17 wheel only measures to 34.6". So skip the dumb 34.6x@12.5 tire and go for a 34x11. You only lose .3 inches of ground clearance and they fit with a leveling kit on stock wheels.

[@yager4092]

Do you know how well the stock steering components last with a 35" tire.

[@jergernice1]

@@yager4092 i just bought a used 2018 with 59 k. cant tell you when the previous owner bought the 17"wheels with 33" tires....but they are 60k tires and have about 20k tread left. so im guessing he probably did it at end of manu warranty. 36k? anyway the jeep had terrible wobble....tie rod getting loose, but everything else seems ok....i replaced the track bar to get rid of the wobble. im guessing not as long as youd like..id get a track bar immediately to help.

[@liam_jess]

I have the Teraflex 3” Lift w/35x12.5 tires, with 8 Alpine Flex Arms, HD Tie Rod, Drag Link, Front and Rear Track Bars. The tires do rub when flexing and turning. They rub on the sway bar links, especially going up rocks and turning, or doing Black Bear Pass and going down the mountain. Wheel spacers or a 4.50 back space is required. Neither of which I have done.

I have a 2015 JK with only a 2in lift with 35s and they fit great.

One can for 37's with a 2.5". Just gotta get rid of the bulky plastic flares. Replace with something rugged like Poison Spyder. My 2010 was at least 500 pounds of sprung weight heavier when I was done. Low CG, steady even at highway speeds. High clearance for both rocks and road pizza. 😄😁😆😅

[@davidm6751]

In another video you mentioned with anything above 33” you may want to regear or the jeep will feel mushy?? You didn’t mention that in this video?

[@CaptainRudy4021]

This video is just about getting 35s on the jeep. If you have a rubi, you can run 35s on the stock gears no problem. Otherwise, you can get a set of junkyard rubi axles for less than what it'd cost for a shop to swap out the gears, and the rubi axles are stronger anyway.

[@gcanaday1]

I wish you all had measured the tire to fender clearance either stock or without the lift. I bought my 2015 jk with 35s and a lift already installed, but I dont know how much lift is actually there. It looks like 3-4" but its time for new shocks (waaaaay past time) but buying shocks gets tricky if you dont know jow much lift you've actually got.

[@mikecarroll9775]

[@Peter-ve6fy]

Hi, I didn't read all comments to see if this was covered but what is the offset on the wheels? I have 35's on stock Rubicon wheels and they rub when cranked all the way.

[@richystar2001]

I would add a steering damper to make it manageable for hard breaking and high speeds on paved highways.

[@LTUSATV]

Typically the biggest tires I recommend on a JK w/o a lift is 33's.

[@extremeterrain]

You definitely *can* fit 35s on a stock JK with some trimming and aftermarket fender flares, that doesn't mean we heartily recommend it though haha! 33s with a 1.5" leveling kit is about perfect in my eyes, they can fit without a lift with minor rubbing though. -Zach

[@targetoz5470]

Gday mate, I’ve got a JK Unlimited Rubicon with a 2.5” lift, gets really good stretch and am running almost worn 285/70/17’s. If i fitted 315/70/17’s would it rub do you think? I’ve also got custom winch bar and rear custom bar. Also power and economy? What would the power and economy be like with 315’s? I’m currently getting 12.5ltrs/100. Cheers Steve. PS love your channel.

[@JimmyDickens1]

Your 35”s had some rub before the lift, but what about 34”s? Will they fit stock without rubbing, or will it require a leveling kit or lift? I’m looking at BFG KO2 285 75R17, which are 33.8” tires. I’m using stock wheels without spacers.

Always love XT videos, new to Jeeps, ‘15 JKU sport, I am currently running pathfinders AT 265/17R17 paired with MB Wheels (off-road). Daily driver, light off-roading, All stock, I like the set up here and I will get 35’s (suggestions for snow/ice), W/ stock and 35,” reason to have a splashguard? Pro/cons? Also, too rough for the wife and need help. Love the 3” lift, will the kit help for a smoother ride for the wife? Would another lift kit work better for what I am looking for? Additional parts needed/recommended with any lift? Thanks again and Semper Fi !

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for the love, Shawn! When the time comes to snag a set of 35" tires, I highly recommend looking into something with the a three peak mountain snowflake rating. This rating indicates the tire meets required performance criteria in snow testing to be considered severe snow service-rated! Some all-terrain tires with this symbol include the BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2, Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Goodyear Duratracs. Splash guards really come down to local laws and personal preference, they absolutely help protect your paint if roads get heavily salted in the winter though. When it comes to Jeeps, you will never really get them to ride as smooth as normal cars. That being said you can absolutely get them to ride nicer with quality suspension components. If you have room in your budget I highly recommend looking into Fox Performance shocks, as they are known for their quality and smooth ride. When it comes to 3" lift kits you really want to make sure it comes with something to address your suspension geometry like adjustable control arms or control arm brackets, an adjustable front track bar, rear track bar bracket, longer swaybar links, etc. I know this was a lot of information, but if you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call! 1-877-870-8556 -Zach

[@Mark-yy2py]

Would you need to regear the Jeep if you add 35 inch tires with a 2.5 lift?

[@extremeterrain]

You could get away without re-gearing, but it's definitely something you'll want to look into down the road if you do a lot of highway driving with your Wrangler or spend a lot of time off-road. Adding the extra weight from those 35s will absolutely be noticeable. A speedometer/transmission recalibrator will help bring back some of the power lost, but re-gearing will help out the most with that. Especially if you have a manual transmission. -Zach

Re-gearing would *definitely* help out the driving feel of your Wrangler if you're rocking 35" tires currently! That being said if you aren't doing any crazy rock crawling and you don't feel like your Jeep is too sluggish - you'll be alright. -Zach

[@StephenAlvarado-sf3uf]

do you have to change the bracket for the 5th tire for 35's????

[@xzysyndrome]

My build list has far exceeded my right now budget lmao. If I am looking for a 3" lift with 35" tires....would you suggest the tires or lift first? a 3" lift with 31" tires on 17's lmao... I mainly do moderate logging/Fire roads with a stock Rubicon. Seems if I did tires first I could just remove the fenders and run an ugly duck for a spell...

[@extremeterrain]

The safer route in my opinion is doing lift first, then tires. Yes, it will look like your Wrangler skipped leg-day for a little while but there's a lot less headaches with that compared to trying to fit 35s on your Jeep while stock. If you don't mind removing your fenders, hammering some pinch welds or getting high clearance fender flares, go for the tires first. But I think its easier to get the lift first. 😄 -Zach

[@noorelsharif3060]

Do you need to install a steering stabilizer if you get a 3" lift kit? Some people say it is necessary if you don't want to wobble on the highway. Is this true?

[@extremeterrain]

A new steering stabilizer is a great addition to a 3" lift kit if you're looking at moving up to 35" tires! I'd highly recommend you check your tie rod ends, control arm bushings, track bar and ball joints too though. If any of those are worn you may be looking at death wobble in the near future after lifting with bigger tires. -Zach

[@saylorschott4025]

Shocks are normally sold with their lengths / appropriate lift heights noted! Normally 1-3" and 4-6" are most common. -Zach

[@jeremyolson2593]

What are your thoughts on spacers as a temp fix while saving up for rims?

[@extremeterrain]

Wheel spacers are a great way to fit larger tires or get a wider stance if you're saving up for aftermarket wheels, or if you just want to keep your stock wheels in general! As long as you make sure they're installed properly and checked often, you'll be perfect. -Zach

[@jeremyolson2593]

That would be perfect! -Zach

35s on 1.75" of lift will be pretty darn tight. If you plan on removing your factory fender flares and replacing them with a higher clearance set, you won't have any major issues. With factory flares, you're lightly going to rub a good bit on anything but straight flat roads. -Zach

Really wanted 35s but don’t want to spend on the lift yet Probably going with 33s 😢

[@isomhawes311]

I bought 33's back in January but it bugged me seeing how much better other Wranglers looked with 35's. So about 2 mths ago I traded my 33's in and got 35s. Barely got any money back for the 33's so needless to say it was an expensive decision/mistake. If you want 35's I suggest waiting to get your lift before you buy tires so you can get the size tire you really want (those 35's). Trust me, you'll thank me later.

[@JonathanTacoman]

I was considering the tires first, removing the splash guard , then the lift but idk if that’s a good idea

[@isomhawes311]

I ended up doing an inexpensive spacer lift kit (2.5 inches). The kit plus install I believe was less than $400. It gave me plenty room for the 35's. I did still rub a tad on the splash guard but I cut the edges where it was making contact and I was good to go without removing the entire guard. But main point I wanted to make is don't make the mistake I did in getting 33's only to wish you had gotten 35's. You'll either dislike the Jeep for the next 2 to 4 years until you need to get tires again or you'll end up doing what I did and waste money going back to buy 35's. One more thing though... you may also hate the Jeep if you get 35's and you have 3.21 gears (what I had). It will be very sluggish and it will downshift and be revved up all the time at the slightest incline or even on flat roads if you put any real pressure on the gas pedal it will downshift. I regeared to 4.56. With the regear it feels almost like stock again. If you have at least 3.73s you would be 'OK' with 35's and you'll definitely be alright if you have 4.10s.

[@lopezproductions6381]

[@isomhawes311]

@@lopezproductions6381 I'm thinking about getting a 'real' lift too. My reason is just to get a tad more height and I know you can only go so high with spacers before you have to cross over to a real lift. But if it rides better too that will be great!

[@extremeterrain]

So you're looking to do a 3" spacer lift? You definitely *can* put on 35" tires, but you're going to feel the effects of it on your daily driving. Your low end torque will be effected, you'll feel a lot more sluggish on the road, regardless if you have a manual transmission or an automatic you're going to notice your higher gears becoming less useful when cruising on the highway and if you don't use a programmer your speedometer will be inaccurate. Sticking with 33" tires will absolutely lessen these issues. -Zach

[@scaryharryofficial]

ExtremeTerrain.com i really like the look of 35s but they seem like a lot more of a headache to deal with than 33s. with all that being said i’ll probably go with a slightly lower lift and 33s just to make it easier on myself. thank you so much for the help i really appreciate it!!!!! def subbing; keep up the good work👍🏽👍🏽

How well does the steering components hold up on a JKU while running 35-12.5/17

[@extremeterrain]

When brand new, stock tie rods, drag links and track bars hold up just fine with 35s for on-road driving and moderate trails off-road. As they wear down though, swapping them out with heavy duty replacements is a great idea to help handle the extra weight of those larger tires.

[@jlateralus21]

Do you need to regear with a 35 tire on the JKU sport with the dana 44 rear axle?

[@extremeterrain]

You can get away without regearing if you recalibrate your speedomter/transmission after installation, and you have the optional 3.73 gears from the factory. If you have a manual transmission or 3.21 gears though, I highly recommend you look into regearing because you'll absolutely notice the loss of power while driving. -Zach

[@diegocst48]

Does it need to be regeared running 35s?

[@extremeterrain]

*Need?* Not really. Do we recommend? *Yes.* Especially if you have a manual transmission, putting on larger tires like 35s will make your Jeep feel sluggish and you won't be seeing your higher gears too often. The lack of power will feel pretty noticeable if you take it off-road as well. -Zach

I used a teraflex 2.5 level kit. Only reason I used it was to give clearance to the stock fenders. If I had aftermarket flat fenders I wouldn't have needed a lift. I also have a aftermarket front bumper.

Any problems running 35s on stock gears?

[@mdingle11]

I'm running 35s on the stock 3.21 gears. Have been for almost a year and it's fine. I do plan on going up to 4.56 though.

[@jultnnrpearson03]

Micheal Dingle that's the only thing I was concerned about. I do plan on swapping gears eventually, but wasn't sure how it would handle with the 3.21

[@mdingle11]

@@jultnnrpearson03 it's a little sluggish compared to stock but it's not terrible.

What would happen if you don’t regear?

[@noorelsharif8510]

The Bike Life - Ive been trying to figure this out myself. Did you ever get an answer on this?

[@carpathianoverland]

You forgot to install the rear tire

[@kswyg001]

Rubicon's aren't slightly higher, nor do they have larger tires. Do the math on the 255/75-17 and the 255/70-18 that would come in the Sport or Rubicon vs the Sahara size. Furthermore, Extreme Terrain failed to read the thread on JK Forum where the ride height is determined by the number of the coil on the jeep, not the trim. Yes, typically the more heavily equipped jeeps (4dr, hard top, tow package) have higher rated coils, but solely a Rubicon means nothing. I appreciate that you guys are trying to put out information but let's avoid scare tactics and misinformation.

[@SmokeytheJeep]

kswyg Certain special-edition Rubicons the last year or two came with 33-inch BFGs. But, for the most part, you’re absolutely correct.

[@kswyg001]

@@SmokeytheJeep 10th anniversary Rubicon's, yes. The hard rock and rubi x came with 32" bfg mt's. Same story though- factory coil numbers dictate the height of the vehicle. I purchased Rubicon springs that were the same as a fully loaded sport.

[@SmokeytheJeep]

kswyg I’d thought the Hard Rock was on 33s, but maybe I’m mistaken.

What about 2857017 on 2016 jk sport do I need lift😢 because I bought the 392 wheels so I need help if fits

My 35s for with a 21/2 inch

[@maggiepup3377]

Would the off road issue mean your going to rip off your fenders when you flex. Lol

[@cybervore]

Just curious. How would those 35 inch tires ride wit a 2.5 inch lift?

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

They'd be fine.

[@Luiichijaraa]

Do you need to regear with 35?

[@robertlugo8702]

👀👀

[@philliprader6298]

Depends on what gear ratio you are running. Rubicon usually are different from the Sahara and sport. My Rubicon doesn't have to regear with the 4:10 manual transmission.

[@isomhawes311]

I had 3.21 gearing when I put 35's on. There are those that will say a regear isn't needed but after driving for just a week with 3.21 gears, I couldn't take the sluggishness anymore and regeared to 4.56. I probably would've been OK with 4.10s but I'm not unhappy with the extra pep of the 4.56s.
