I don't yet have my jeep but from the plentious videos I've watched for a year, I believe you have the best information and channel for research and enjoyment for jeep lovers. Thank you and God bless.
Am thinking Ryan got A’s in all his Essays and assignments :))) He knows how to gas things up by bringing the same points over and over from different angles 🤣
Thank you for your videos, thry probide so much value my God. You're saving people literally thousands of dollars in mistakes with your tests and insights, doing the world of Jeep owners a solid! Thank you.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
Awesome video. Like how you used an older JK verses using a JL. Mine is a 2012, so now I can show the wife why I need new tires and a lift kit and what it will look like. (She will tell me to ask for a money tree for Christmas lol). Entered to win the kit. Crossing my fingers.
I have metalcloak overland fenders and 35s BFG K02 on XD rockstar 2 rims with 4.5 backspace and -12 offset. On a 2011 Rubicon with 4.10 gears. A little trim on the back of the rock rail. No lift! No problems. 😁
Jp mag did 10 Different ways to fit 35's Im running 2"spacer and 35's np Black rock 17x9 0 off set no fenders . cut bumper . Rj44 detroit locker D44 torson lsd carbon chromoly shafts 4.88 gears .
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. 😄😁😆😅
That's half way true, I installed 35s on my JKU the was no problem with the height, the problem ws that I couldn't even turn the wheel, it didn't work until I installed the 3.5 lift kit.
my set up consist of 3.25 Rough Country lift 35x12.5 AMP M/T tires RTX Baja rims -18 off set BDS disconnects stock Fenders with this set up in the trails i still get rubbing in the fender when I flex
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.
hey my 2016 is shaking a little after i installed the lift kit? i torque everything to the specifications. i have my friend shake the wheel while i look for pnay on the steering system but i can’t see anything. any idea? thank you for any help
I have an AEV 2.5 inch lift running 35's the air dam rubbed when I locked the wheel to either side so I trimmed the corners and now there's no more rubbing at all...
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.
Ha ha. Seconds in and I thought, “What is that poopy-doo covering the headlights? Oh. Nevermind. Just someone taking their weakly underpowered headlights and blocking more of it’s subpar output.”
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
I’m running 305/70/18 with a 2 1/2in lift lower control arms and 1 1/2 in wheel spacer and I can keep up with tjs on 35s and a 5in long arm and lockers and jkus on 35s and 4in lift and lockers so
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
My wrangler jkus has 3.73 gearing. Should i regear or am i fine? I dont plan on racing my jeep lol nor do i plan on going hard core rock crawling, just some overlanding, camping and everyday driving
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
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.
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.
If I were to put a 4 inch suspension lift with 35s and a tuner on my 2015 2 door Jeep JK, do I need to regear , after market axels, or breaks? Will Dana 30/ 35 axels and stock breaks be safe and efficient with this setup without regearing?
No need to remove the Air Dam. That thing is PLASTIC and can be easily trimmed with a Dremel tool. Would be nice if you talked about the necessary offset/backspacing to run the 35"s. I like my Rubicon stock wheels so I run 1.5" spacers to fit the 35"s.
Hello 👋 I recently went from stock wheels to 20x12 35 no lift and for some reason my 6 and 7 gear needs more rpm’s to change its there a tuning I need to do?
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 !
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
Great video! I'm planning in a LCG/37"/high fender set up for my 2 dr JK Recon and was thinking about Teraflex's Alpine 0-2" kit with their Falcon adjustable shocks & steering damper .. Do you have any builds or videos planned for any of that? Thanks - JB
Bought a used 2018 wrangler JK sport S 2 door, seems to have a 2" superlift and has 315/70r17E ironman mt's, like the tires but not sure about the lift, any opinions?
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.
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.
@@isomhawes311 I did the same thing. Got 33's and a leveling kit. It was ok but ended up spending money twice. Got a Rock Krawler x Factor 3.5 and 35's the ride is So much better than stock. Even went with Fox Shocks. Wait a little and reach for the 35's and a proper lift kit. You'll thank us later.
@@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!
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...
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
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?
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
*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
The paint on this guy is Metallic Brown Pearlcoat, pretty sure it was only available for the 2013 model year. Bronze wheels would definitely look nice on a Granite Crystal setup! I'd head online to the Jeep forums to see if you can find a thread on bronze wheels for some pictures! -Zach
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
They should be able to fit, but things will still be close and you may need some trimming to avoid rubbing. Honestly if you want 35s and you plan on going off-road I would recommend looking into a 2.5" lift kit. -Zach
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
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. Check out the following link if you'd like an idea of some heavy duty replacements! -Zach www.extremeterrain.com/teraflex-hd-tierod-drag-1853900.html
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 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.
im looking to get an ‘07-‘11 four door jk this summer and im interested in running a 3 inch lift without coils or shocks, with 35 inch tires, but i DO NOT want to re-gear. is this possible or would i have to downgrade to 33s?
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
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👍🏽👍🏽
I currently have a Teraflex leveling kit, and 1.75 inch WHEEL spacers on a 75th anniversary jku. Would 35's rub too much? I don't do too much intense off roading, yet
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
@@extremeterrain I believe the leveling kit is 2" in the front 1" in the rear, i also have 1.75 inch wheel spacers. The 2.5 inch lift i want is on backorder
120lbs per tire!!! Never heard of that of any tire out there. Have you thought about asking the tires if they like or hate supporting the weight of the Sahara on top of them.
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.
Definitely! There may be a little rubbing if you plan on going off-road and flexing things out, but you will have plenty of clearance with 2.5" for daily driving and light to moderate trails! -Zach
Nick Tremblay I believe the Sahara and sport both have 3.21. And the Dana 30 should be fine for 35s as long as you’re not doing crazy rock crawling. I have a sport and I regeared to 4.56 which is the best mod I could’ve purchased after switching to 35s. But as long as the tires aren’t spinning it’s a waste of money to do gussets and what not.
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.
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.
