Oh wise jeep members, help me with my dilemma. I need to decide on a set of tires. I have found an awesome deal on a used set of 4 37" bfg a/ts. The ole ball and chain won't let me spend the $$ right now to get a set of new 37" m/ts, so my option is to either get the 37" bfg a/ts or stick with my stock rubi 32" bfg m/t. What would you do? Keep in mind that I have a 08 rubi unlimited with a 6spd and will keep the stock 4.10 for now. The only time I drive the jeep is on the weekends 180 miles to Moab, or up to Silverton when the snow melts. I am installing a 2.5" TF coil lift and plan on following planman's setup to run 37"s with a 2.5" lift.

37's are way too big if your not lifting. Read stickies for info on gear ratio and tire size.

I have a leveling kit on my rubi and plan on 37's. Prolly have a body lift when the time comes. Plus fender trim. With the 2.5 u will be fine. Just follow planman's write up.

Read the post. I am putting on a 2.5", and will follow planman's setup for 37"s. I just want to know if the larger size is worth the loss of traction. (a/t vs m/t) I want to still be able to krawl in Moab.

Edit: by lifting do u mean raising the gearing? I know I should go up to 5.13, but can't right now.
