Does this look weird?

I have 37s with 4.10s and the 3.6, and I think JLs have a 10 speed?  I don’t mind mine but don’t drive it daily. It’s a little sluggish up hills and such but otherwise I think it’s fine.

Definitely 37s


When I had my JK, I stopped running a spare on the tailgate when I went up.

JL's have an 8 speed. I have 4.88's and 37's and that pairs well. 18 - 19 mpg.

I could be wrong, but don't JLs fit 35s without a lift? If so, a 2.5" lift and those overline fenders would make the tires look a little small/disproportionate compared to all that empty space around them.

37" MT tires and some beadlocks would help with appearance 

35" on a JL will fit without a lift, but it fits better on the Rubicon. The Rubicon come with fenders / inner fenders, so you do not need as much lift. Think mine is 3" on 37".

Welcome to the never ending cycle:
-lift/fixes/upgrades next bigger tires next break crap next lift/fixes/upgrades next bigger tires and so on.

Run what ya brung, and when it makes sense for ya (budget/time) get bigger tires. A couple of things to keep in mind IMO. Think about tire width and backspacing too. That pristine paint goes to crap quick when you’re fenders aren’t covering your tires. The sides of my LJ look like acne on a 13 year olds face. Pits and marks everywhere. You might not care because it’s a Jeep! But some do. Also I had issues with wearing of ball joints, unit bearings, and suspension components in my TJ when running  taller and wider tires. The JLs have much stouter axles and components from factory, so you may not have any issues.

You could just save your money and go straight to tons and 40s like we all know you’re headed to eventually.

Update - found a set of 37s on the marketplace for an unbeatable deal.

Thanks man - the 37s look much better. I drove about 100 miles today with them and not noticing any loss in power. Hitting 8th on interstate and about 2k rpm at 70

Great news. I really think some folks get too wound up in the gearing thing, if you have the power its really not an issue until you get into the 40"+ stuff imo.
