Default Rock Krawler 3.5 on the way 35's or 37's thoughts?

Gonna be installing the kit on my stock Rubicon Unlimited when it arrives. What are everyones thoughts for tire size? Its a DD and will be off road every weekend. I am in Florida where as you all know is mostly mud but I do go to East Tenn often to visit Windrock. I will be going with Goodyear MTR/K's in either size.

I have 35s with 2.5" coil spacers and wish I had 37s. Go 37s!

I have the same lift with a 1" body lift and am running 37's. Mine still rub on the rear pinch seam a little, but nothing that can't be trimmed off.

You may want to start with 35’s and then if you want a little more then next time go to the 37’s in a couple of years.

With how expensive big tires are and how much you will wheel, go 37s and pound or trim where it rubs.

I try as much as possible to do it once.

I trimmed. I wished I had bought 37s for daily driving as well. They will rub on the fenders 2 of mine are loose. I will be trimming them this summer before going to tube fenders.



Go as big as you can safely fit, which includes axles, gears etc for the type of wheeling you do.

On an Unlimited 37's! Looks well proportioned to the size of the vehicle.

A friend of mine has that same kit and is running 37's, however, there's a big difference in off-roading here in California versus Florida. My vote would be 37's...we went 35's and are not prepping for 37's! Just my

If money where no concern, I'd already be running flat flares and 37" MTRs on the RK 3.5". However in my reality 35s look and perform just fine for DD duty and the trail use I generally do.
