Default It's about time for new tires...

Well my pro comps are wearing down and it's time to get new shoes. I have a 3.5" Skyjacker lift with 35's right now on stock wheels. I'm really thinking about upgrading to 37's but I'm wondering how 37's will do with this lift. The tires I'm going to get are nitto mud grapplers.

Any thoughts/ideas?

I'll most likely upgrade my wheels to rockstars, pro comp 7069, or dick cepek torques.

Thanks for any help.

The MG are great tires but they are very load and I think you will get tires of the noise. Thre Toyo MT's are a lot quieter but still too heavy. I really like the BFG KM2's the best. They are as quiet as a AT tire, light compared to the other tires and a great all around tire. The Mud Grapplers do look great but the noise would get to me after a while. I guess I'm getting old. I ran 37's with a 3" lift and a 1: body lift with not problems.
I would get a body lift or add 1" coil spacers.
If I added coil spacers would I need to do this to the front and back of my Jeep? At one point in time I considered a body lift, but I don't really like the way they look now unless you fix the gap.

The gap for the rear bumper can easily be fixed.. just have to relocate the rear bumper and/or you can order some bracket from Rough Country.. 25$ and they will do the job just right.

It's hard to tell with aftermarket bumper. Your JK look awesome !

And you can tell that you have a body lift by the gap between your muffler tip and your bumper, but yes, you have to look at it and search for it and even then, its no big deal IMO.. I got a 1" body lift that i'm about to install anytime soon too..

great looking JK buddy !
