I'm sure 36" tires would fit. Most 36s aren't really 36", they're more like 35.5". Since 35s fit, they should also fit. If you go with 10" wide rims, the tire will become smaller in diameter. So a 36 on a 10" would be more like a 35. And vice-versa...

Most 36s, especially of the super swamper form measure way big. They will rub.

I have a TJ now and I have 33 inch tires on a 2 inch Trailmaster lift kit, there is some rubbing with this lift but nothing to harsh....Now what I would like to know is if I put a 3 inch lift kit on my JK, can I put 36 inch tires and get the same type of results. I most likely will keep in on the street.....anyone have opinions on this set up..thanks guys!!

Or should I go with a 4 inch lift.....if i do this what will be need for me to do...?? 36 or 37 inch tires

If you want 37s or 36s go for the 4 inch superlift

I'd get a 4" lift if I wanted to run 36's. IMHO 3" lift = 35's, 4" lift = 36's or 37's.

Almost every super swamper tire comes in 36". Also, PJ makes a great 36, a little heavy though, but aren't they all.
