Hey Jay, we're limited to 35s in the club right? If you went with 37s would you keep 35s to do runs?

No rubbing I'm running flat fenders well actually when wheel I take them off I made a quick release setup so they go on super fast or off .I also did some trimming to the wheel well I have pictures of me stuffing my 40's with no rub so it can be done.

Yeah I'd have to. I'd probably get 35 MTs (either toyo mt or the goodyear kevlar) and 37 ATs (thinking wild peak). On a budget though, I may get 35 guard dogs :(

What are you running for gears heat? My jeep came with 3.73s, and it's already so weird feeling

I was thinking of re-gearing but I've put so much money into the JK so far that I think I have to wait for a little while. Been hearing that it would make a huge improvement even though my current Toyos aren't really that big (34+/-).

You will one trip to the "mall" and you will be hooked!! Your not going to believe how much better your jeep will wheel with 37's it will open up all new lines for you I think 37's should be the min for real wheeling but that's me and I'm mostly stock!!

Mine is automatic so maybe it would still be helpful for me. I think I have 4.10 now with a Rubicon.
