I like the factory rims, but maybe if the budget and wife allow in the future I can upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Your build is very similar to mine. I just added a Mopar 2in lift with stock wheels and have 1.5in wheel spacers currently installed. I'll be moving to a 35in tire like you did in the fall, currently leaning towards BFG A/T KO2's but have been looking at these Coopers as well. Whichever one will give me the best available sale price between now and the fall will likely be my deciding factor between the tires. I might go to new wheels instead of using the spacers, but since I have the spacers, using them for a little with stock wheels is a possibility as well like you are currently doing. I also have the same rock rails, so looking like I'll likely have to trim those down as well.

I would like to hear about your experience with the larger tires in regards to gearing and how it currently feels.
What gears do you currently have?
Did you purchase a programmer and which one, along with your experience after programming?
Do you feel the need to change gears?

P.S. Nice looking Jeep!!!
