Fitting 37" tires on a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with no lift

We did it, Wasn't too much drama either. We were able to successfully install 37" Terra Raider tires on our Gladiator Rubicon with no lift and even got the spare to fit in the factory location with 5psi in it. Details below.

Just subscribed, love the look with the 37s. I bought a Red Launch Edition 5 months ago and still not sure with tires and lift, but your 37s have me thinking now.

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

We are gonna wait for AEV to bring their 2" to market before we make up our mind. I have done very little articulating but have had 0 rubbing so far. However we haven't done anything with the sawybar disconnected.

[@markgosser9578]

@@ResurrectedMotorSports I ended up doing 2” lift with 35” and regret due to large space in wheel well. I’m looking at getting 37s soon.

[@HemiBurns]

Looks great. I have 37X12.5 17 with my 17X9.0 Offset -12 . Just waiting for "touch down" this week. Have a 2.5 inch spacer ReadyLift also waiting but the rims and tires will go on first.

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Thanks, we are gonna wait and see what the AEV lift looks like before deciding on a lift.

[@Sinsofcarolina]

Hemi Dave same setup I’m going with. If you’re throwing the wheels and tires on first , let me know how the clearance is at full lock with stock Rubi suspension. I’ve been waiting to order wheels/tires until I could afford to throw in a 2.5 spacer lift on top of it, but if a lift isn’t needed immediately I’ll throw the 37s on and wait to pay that lift labor!

[@HemiBurns]

Sins of Carolina Will let you know. Still waiting on my Jeep to get to the dealer

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

@@Sinsofcarolina I had no issues with the stock ruby suspension. Lock to lock no rubbing.

[@Sinsofcarolina]

Resurrected MotorSports Great to know, it’s crazy how small even the 35s look on the JT. 37s are basically a must, just for aesthetics. Thanks for the video and info

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

I subscribe keep it up. I like watching real jeeps I do 10 scale RC scale rock and trail crawling. My sons and I have a blast doing them together. I just found your channel. Because I’m building a Gladiator RC. Thanks for reading.

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

That is awesome! I have had a few of those myself! Be sure and link us to some pictures when you get it completed!

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Just subd!

[@JTRSpartacus]

👍. I Just went with 37x12.50r17 M/T Baja AtzP3 in stock wheels and mostly stock #JTRSPARTACUS

[@montebeerbower7796]

I'm from Bartlesville and work in Tulsa. Love to see it in person sometime

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Awesome, I need to get back over to Tate's to get my new wheel mounted and balanced! maybe when I get over there.

[@guidok3762]

Thanks for the update! Just bought a Gladiator.....! Did the spare tire fit under the Jeep? Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Yes it did. I forgot to include that in the video, but I did list that in the details.

[@enginepy]

Wish we could have seen some more vid of the way the tires look and sit and what offset you have. Also, would be nice to know if there was any rubbing at full lock. Did the spare 37 fit underneath? Just info that I think we were looking for

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

No rubbing at full lock. Wheel info is in the description. Feel free to check out my latest video Vagabond Vault. It has some video from different angles. And finally yes the spare fit underneath with about 5 psi in it.

[@enginepy]

Resurrected MotorSports thanks so much. I think a lot of us are debating about this and you made it really helpful.

[@porkchop94]

New subscriber 😊. Just got a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon with the manual. Have 35's with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. We are on the fence going with 37's til I found your video. Do you still hit 6th gear on the flats or are you stuck in 5th most of the time. Also have you towed anything since u got them, and I if so how did that work out. We have a 2800 lb camper we are planning on towing. Appr the video and any advice and info. Thanks 😊 👍

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

6th was pretty much useless. Never did tow. I sold it and am actually looking for an auto possibly diesel Rubicon now.

[@AlanTrades]

@@ResurrectedMotorSports what made you sell it

[@soutchaysiharath1755]

Looks great !! Any rubs ?

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

none to date. its been a year.

[@millstonejeepworx]

Very informative video. Have a few questions. I have a Gladiator Rubicon on order. I ordered it with the 6spd manual trans but recently was told that the manual performs very poorly with oversized tires. I'm planning on a Rock Krawler 3.0" lift and 37s, figured the Rubicon 4.10s would be adequate. My questions are have you seen any significant power/performance loss with the 37s? Any computer/electrical issues? I've read there are steps you have to take to get the computer to recognize the tire size. I'm actually trying to get my order changed to the auto trans, since it is still waiting to be scheduled for build, but know that it may not be possible. Thanks

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

You will notice a small amount of power loss from the 33" to 37" tire. Off road I am hoping that low range will be able to offset that. You will need to have the dealership flash in your new tire size or buy a device such as the procal or Tazer JL.

[@JTRSpartacus]

Just did this with my Rubi manual. Definitely some power loss but not terrible. Used Tazer to reset/relearn. Getting 14.5mpgs now was getting almost 16. #JTRSPARTACUS

[@JTRSpartacus]

By the way. Don’t change!!! #savethestick

[@catdaddy3302]

The Manuel is not worth a damn towing! That’s why I traded for a automatic Mohave.

[@AlanTrades]

@@catdaddy3302 yea but it can still tow 4000 pounds, plus the manual is so fun

[@rambolane1]

How much of your turning circle did you lose? I'm guessing you can't go full lock anymore

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

full lock is not problem.

[@oscarmuniz8780]

Did you regear?

[@householdtablet8439]

How's the camper build coming along bro?

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Well, We have had a crazy summer and got a little sidetracked. We hope to be back on it SOON! stay tuned for new content.

[@dy1837]

diesel or gasoline gladiator?

[@AwesomeKhmer]

It’s very cringing that they’re not using jack stands.

[@joaquinflores809]

hi ! how many MPG ? IN THE 37s?

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

About 13mpg. But I do mostly city driving.

[@emmanuel2049]

Did the 37 fit on spare location??

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

it sure did, we aired it down to about 5psi to get it in there.

[@chrisalva9968]

what gas mileage?

[@catdaddy3302]

But how does it do off road? Put it in some mud and make another video.

[@blazyright8302]

What color is this gladiator?

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

Sting Gray

[@SOLDADITO76]

The Gladiator is already having recalls on transmissions, strap your boots on. This vehicle just came out this year and so far not a good sign. Nothing wrong with tire noise, specially if you drive off road and need the traction. Mall crawlers and pavement pounders don’t need aggressive tires.

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

It's just the flywheel lol not a big deal honestly. My has no problems so far.

[@SOLDADITO76]

I heard the clutches were failing under normal use and getting to hot, and in some cases at highway speeds to were they fuse to the flywhee leaving people strandedl. Just throwing it out there... I know I have put my clutch through hell in my Yota at times off roading.

[@onebridge7231]

I’ve had my Rubicon JT 8 speed auto. No problems at all. Really like my Gladiator so far.

[@cyclone427np]

Very helpful video. I was on the edge about going 37 but Im gonna do it now. Was there an offset on your rims or is it same as factory? I plan on keeping my factory JT Rubicon rims.

[@ResurrectedMotorSports]

check out the link for the exact wheel specs. and Thanks!!

Don’t drink and drive please people🍺🍻🍻it make u do weird things🤔🤨🤯🤯🤕🤒😀😀🍻

Well said Mr.Clean! We couldn't agree more!
