I built my axles knowing I would stick with 37's. I feel they will hold up to some good wheeling were as if I went 40's I would put a lot more stress on them.

I wish I had the money for a set of 35's just to daily drive on.

Went from 33's to 35's and then started by axle build to safely run 37's.

Went to 37" MTR's about 10 months ago, I'll never go back. Totally satisfied.

35's here... just about right for the mall!!

Guess I am cautious about going to 37's since this is my daily driver... I know I would love 37's, just haven't gained the courage... plus I have at least 2 years left on the 35's.

Good luck with your decision...

Due to my budget I am going to have to go smaller than 37's. my wife has told me I'm spending too much money on a brand new Jeep. There is always room to upgrade I guess.

I agree with this ^^. I have a '12 JKUR 6 speed on 37's and 4.10's and it's really not too bad. Granted the 3.6 AND the 6 speed helps a lot. I actually lost 2lbs each corner when I moved from 35's to 37's. I have 35" duratracs and moved to 37" mtr kevlars and a lightweight alloy wheel and had zero loss in power. I think that is only due to the mtr/k's only weight 74lbs each in 37" size.

If you're moving up to 37's and are worried about performance, then get a light tire and wheel combo like the mtr/k and try to keep your weight down. Plus it's less stress on components with the lighter weight.

Hope this helps

I ran 33's and 35's on my 2 door. Wanted 37's but was limited by the d30. Swapped to a jkur and slapped on 37's with all the trimmings and couldn't be happier. It is a big upgrade though, tires, driveshafts, heavy duty ball joints, gears, better lockers. Sleeves, gussets, and axle shafts.

I guess 35 to 37's involves more than tossing the old tires and putting new ones on.
