I just bought a new Rubicon JK Unlimited. I'm planning to sell my TJ to pay for some upgrades. First on my list is a lift, wheels and tires of course.

I'm wondering if anybody has any advice about 35" vs 37" tires when towing a trailer? I am almost done building an M416 Offroad Trailer (see http://offroadtrailer.blogspot.com/) and I want to make sure I can pull it. If I went to 37's I'd need 5:13 gears front and rear, correct?

I know we don't buy jeeps for gas mileage, but was wondering what people with 37's were getting? I don't want to get 5 mpg driving to Moab and back. I have a honda to drive to work.

 

I have a 6 speed manual. I will be driving offroad mostly (except on the highway to get to the trail). I have a honda to drive to work in.
