My plan was to do 37s, but KOs in 37" were on back-order and I didn't want the noise of KM2s on my DD. I will replace the current tires with 37's when the time comes. Thanks for pointing out that my tires are puny though lol.

I was wondering how is the gear ratio w/ those 35in tires and 3.73 gears. Are you needing to regear?
BTW, I'm from West Chester, Pa also. I went to WCU back in 94'. I miss home but I'll stay here in CO.

Cool, I live very close to WCU. Actually, I have 3.21s, but will be updating to the 4.88s sitting in my basement when the ECU fix is ready. Anyway, it's liveable with the 3.21s so I am sure it would be even better with 3.73s. I imagine 4.10s would be perfect with the auto and 35s.

anymore pics of the exterior? I don't think the tires looks small at all. I think the angle/ lighting of the pics hides some of the tire though.
going to be putting on the same lift/ tires and bumpers on my 2012. That size shoudl allow for enough room for tire chains for those fun days in the mountains this winter. ..already have the tires. wheels are in, just need to go pick them up and pull the trigger on the lift now that AEV's procal is up to speed on the 2012's and gearing.
...looking forward to more pics! nice build!

Sector Shaft Brace
I 've only been wheeling once so far, but I had more "squish" in the steering than I wanted. I added this brace. I will report back on performance and any issues.
