Guys I have a question. Getting ready to get some 35"s for the JK but my only concern is the drivability and safety. It is my girlfriends daily driver. I already have the teraflex BB installed for a few months now and she's used to driving it but I'm worried if I put on the 35"s if the higher center of gravity will make the jeep more susceptible to flipping in an emergency situation. What's everyone's take on this?
And I really have my heart set of 35"s. I can't picture spending all this money on tires to go up from 32" to 33".

 

Get the 35s. You will need to install adjustable track bar so you can dial it in. If you get 33s you will be kicking yourself

Defiantly getting 35"s. Will the track bar make the jeep handle better?

 

i put 35s on my girls 2 door and its her daily driver and she wheels it...it will be fine,just remember to regear and strengthen that front axle...

 

Thanks! Definitely on my list

 

She will be fine with the 35's. Had mine on my daily driver for around 8 months. Took a 750 mile trip to go wheeling a few months back, no issues. Just dont over inflate them. They may be rated for a max pressure of around 60 psi but 30 psi is a lot closer to what you want.

 

Thanks for the advice.

Anyone notice a difference when installing an adjustable tracbar?

 

If it already drives fine with the lift the tires will work fine. Being wider, they might follow ruts on the highway a bit more but that's slight.

 

35's or you will not be happy. ;-) just my opinion.

The only "safety" issue I would consider is that your braking will be poorer due to the extra mass of unsprung weight. Its not a race car so don't expect it to handle like one. :-)
Any SUV type vehicle is more prone to rollover during higher speed maneuvers anyways so the issue w height should be negligible. If she isn't aware of this about a Jeep in the first place she should be educated and then decide if her driving habits are a good fit for a Jeep.

 

The adjustable track bar will only move the axel left or right. All things being equal, a wider track improves stability in turns. Using front adjustable lower control arms to increase castor angle will help the jeep wandering as you drive.
