dd with 35s or full width with 37s?
I bought two more xjs and decided to sell my yukon and f150. So one of the cherokees will become my dd.
The problem is i cant decide what to do with it. The original plan was 6.5" with long arms and 35s. But i ended up with a set of dana 60s from a 2000 f350 srw and a set of wheels to fit them. I would aim for 8" with 37s.
Has anyone run full widths and 37s on there dd? I have to run 70-75 easily for long periods of time. I dont want to be running really high rpm's but i also dont want to be constantly shifting out of od or have problems getting up to speed. Any opinions/ experiences would be appreciated

He'd be on full width axles... Too tall? These things aren't any taller than a Honda Accord when they're stock. Putting them in line with a full size truck on full width axles will be fine. The more important part of that equation will be to have sway bars on the thing.

Why would anyone need 37s? Takes all the fun out of wheeling. I seen a rubicon on 33s beat a beast long arm rubicon on 37s. It's all about driver skills.
