I would go with the 35"s. Your 373's will work just fine. I got 305's (34's) because I was worried about the same thing but now wish I would have gone with the 315's. Just my

Go with 37's believe me you wont regret it....
Here is what mine looks like on 35's and 4" of net lift looks like next to other Jeeps. You get 37's and your going to be a beast.

True very true. I must have missed that part. But..... Having a heavy moded Jeep is like Having guns. I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. I have a RR XHD snorkel and I have no plans on fording a river thats over my hood. But its nice to know I can if I need to

I'd go with the 34s. They are a great size for a JKU. I personally just had 33s delivered today but I've ran 34s for quite awhile now and your gears+pentastar will make it a good setup.

305 and 315 mean 12.0 and 12.4 inches wide, respectively. 285/75/17 is indeed a great size for Our needs also. A person would have to go with a 35 inch flotation size to get an inch more height. I say no thanks. Me don't do vanity.

37s for this? To keep up with the Jones?
I cant afford to Keep up with the Jones.... But I try to do mods that fit my needs on the trail and some mods I did just to individualize my Jeep from others.
My advice would be to Join a club. Get together with a bunch of people that have the love for Jeeps. See what the mods look like in person because a picture can only say so much. Take the mods that you like from the Jeeps in your club and combine it to make your own Jeep.
The great part about having a Jeep is that there are so many aftermarket options you can build it the way you want it and there is a good chance no one will have the same Jeep.
