Anyone running 35's or 37's on stock/OEM 4xE 17' inch rims?

4xEW · 2021-09-02T15:26:03-0400

Considering upsizing to a larger tire and keeping the stock rim. Also getting a 2' inch Mopar lift. I know I will have to add spacers, but wondering if anyone else is doing this?

I’m not. I’m running on 17 inch fuel wheels with KO2. I do not want more highway road noise and in stock rim you have to run spaces. I do not want maintaince at all.

I also refuse to get a mopar 2 inch lift if you are planning to see anything decent off road. I’m waiting on teraflex. It should be out by october

I had 35's on my '18 JL but cant seem to find any pictures. They were the stock rims and were perfectly fine. I did add spacers for a better look too.

Do you recall the name of the spacers you used?

I decided on purpose to go with only 35" for various reason as well as "only a 1.5" lift. My personal preference is adjustability over looks, however falcon shocks are very impressive. I like Dennis Wood and I think Teraflex is a very good brand in general - Teraflex told me that that the springs on the 4xe are specific to the 4xe and you should not be replaced them with a aftermarket JL Rubicon spring - That's why I went with a spacer lift.

At the end of the Day, it's personal preference. Find out what is important to you. For me it's 70% Highway/Paved Road and 30% I want to go everywhere...

When you talked with taraflex, did they say when the were going to have a specific kit for the 4xe?

No, they did not say. But Teraflex bought a 4xe to mess around with it. There are YouTube videos where Dennis shows of a Chief Blue 4xe.

What snorkel is this?

Rugged Ridge Amfib Snorkel. I have chosen the low mount. They have a high mount as well. It was the only Snorkel that was specifically listed to work with the 4xe that I could find t that time. Plus install is a breeze and no cutting the hood. What I like the most, it kinda matches the charging port on the other side...

Any wheel spacers?

Rocksmith · 2022-01-16T13:30:54-0500

Yes, wheel spacers were required as my lift calls for less backspace on the wheels.

What lift and spacers do you have? And any change you can post a front or back pic - would love to see width past fenders!

Thanks!

So I'm running...

Rubicon express 3.5 superflex
All 8 control arms
Front and rear adjustable track bars
Rubicon express 2.5 shocks

I chose the R/E super flex because one end has flex joints and the frame ends have traditional rubber bushings. This rig is our driver when the dam ram won't fit or isn't practical... slightly visible in the pics. She is on 37's too.

Here are the stickout pics
