I'm about to pull the trigger on the 37" KO2's, my only worry is that I park in a parkade and my antenna already hits in a couple spots. I have 35" STT's right now on 17" wheels, how much height is my jeep going to gain? Can someone with 17's measure from the ground to the center of the wheel?

Just plug in your tire measurements:

Center wheel to ground of K02 tire height mounted, 35.5" / 2 = 17.75"

Your measurements, X" / 2 = Y"

17.75" - Y" = the height you would gain

Thanks for the response, I should have specified more. I would like to know how much the tire compresses between the rim and ground. Just so I could get a more precise measurement, I park underground at work and I know I'm close in some spots already, close enough I'm scared to take my sub box out...

And no trimming other than rock rail

thanks for posting the extra pics, I'm debating on keeping my stock Rubi wheels or not. I really like the look of yours.

I know this has been discussed but what air pressure is everyone running?? The sidewalls seem to be pretty stiff on these and I started at 28-30 and now I'm actually running 24-26.

Going to need a new set of tires soon and heavy leaning towards moving from 315/70/17 DuraTrac to the 37" KO2. What is everyones experience with the KO2 in regards to a standard steering stabilizer vs hydro steer (PSC or WTO)? I know often when going to 37s hydro steer is recommended to accommodate additional weight/mass, but wondering what your real world experiences are given that the KO2 runs short in diameter and fairly light comparatively for 37s.

The 37" ko2 has the same 12.5" width as say a 35" km2. So if airing down, it really won't make much of a difference imo since the tread width is the same plus they are only 2 lbs more than a 35" km2. I have both. I run the Fox ATS.

Never needed hydro-assist for the 35 km2's offroad. Having said that, still on the fence about getting hydro. If anything I'll be replacing the stock steering pump and go PSC pump.

It would be a different story if you were going to run 37s in a Nitto or Toyo or some other heavy 35 or 37 tire.

my 2 cents...
