I run 37's on my 2 door with stock gears and driveshafts and have for about 20k miles with no issues other then the occasional down shift to get back up to speed I love it decent mpg (considering) and its my daily.
...Wait, it's got a sunroof:

I removed the plastidip off my wheels! I found the more coats you put on the easier it is to get off. If youre having trouble goo-gone or goopoff is also a great way to loosen it up (into a sludgey form). However the best and fastest way was to use a 2700 psi pressure washer to blast it off.

Cut my Rugged Ridge XHD full width rear bumper/tire carrier into a stubby. Took about 6 hrs of cutting, welding, grinding and painting but the results are well worth it. Looks a ton better to me, especially with flat fenders.

How does the jeep run with the new trackbar? I had a 2.5 budget boost put in mine and it wobbles and sways on the highway at fast speeds.

It doesn't necessarily make the jeep run better. The trackbar helps re center your axels after lifting it. The stock track bar isn't adjustable so when you lift your jeep it pushes your axel to the driver side. With the adjustable track bar it allows you to push the axel back to the passenger side.

I have a rubi with 35's. it's ok, I have the 3.8 though. I am swapping them out for 5.13's. I was used to the torque of my TJ with the 4.0 so this was quite a drastic drop in power. I do a bit of rock crawling and a lot of highway miles, I just don't like the lag in it. I also have a 6speed so I can compensate for it a bit but I can't wait for those 5.13's!

Lol oh yeah the original question, I would definitely go to 35's at least, for now. 37's put you into a whole other realm of money to keep everything working right. At least with 35's you can keep most everything stock, 37's get expensive quick. That's my humble opinion anyways. Ill go 37's once I have everything else upgraded.
