For the people that say 37s are horrible on mpg. I have a 3.8auto with superchip on 4.10s and when i had my 37s i set the cruise at 70 and got 16.2 mpg in the rollin hills of georgia. 37s get a bad wrap which is pure stupid if u ask me.

Worrying about 1-2 mpg when you own a Jeep, is pure stupid. However, that won't change the reality that someone will post a thread this week about mpg and tires.

Wow, what happened to this thread ? Lol
I know ride is subjective but I have a hard time believing 6" on a 2 door w/ short arms handles well ... At all.
Curries what the OP's front caster angle is at?
Maybe he's favoring pinion, in that case it's going to handle poorly regardless.
Drivelines .. It's only a matter of time.

Folks just need to come to the realatization that they bought a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick.

I'm pretty sure less than 1% of the JK owners actually go out of their way to take it truly "Off Road"

I for one am perfectly happy with all the soccer mom's and mall crawlers are out there, if it wasn't for them, Jeep/Chrysler wouldn't have sold over a million JK's

The more they sell, the greater the market for companies to produce the aftermarket stuff that we all can't wait to buy!
