I ended up going with another set of 35s. Hope I made the right choice. From what I've seen and from talking to others, the stt pros run pretty true to size. Thought long and hard about 37s, but ultimately 35s suit this one better. Next build will be bigger

 

I think you made the right choice. 35" tires with the Notch Custom flares make a killer combo, especially running approx 4.5" of lift

 

Agreed. My line of thinking as well. Plus this rig was never meant to be a dedicated crawler. I'm already geared to 4.56 with will be better on the highway on 35s. Plus I'd rather be over built than pushing the limit. I'll go big on xj #2

 

So turns out I heard wrong lol. Received my 315 STT Pros and they were MUCH smaller than my previous 35" MTRs. Slightly bigger than a 33, but not by much. I was able to get rid of this set almost instantly for $50 profit and ordered them again in 37x12.5 just in time and on the last day of the sale. Hoping that the same holds true for these and they run a little small

 

Here's a couple shots with the 37" MTRs on. If the 37" Pros are a little smaller I'll be happy. Notch flares will open it up quite a bit too.

 

And I was going to wait til the very end to post this, but since I've been busy and holding out on updates here's a sneak peak just for you guys

 

Almost forgot, also picked up the Boostwerks tcase linkage

 

nice! Make sure ur motor and Trans mounts are good, otherwise, the torque will twist them and the lever will move under acceleration. Lol. I made my own linkage.

 

Very nice. Appreciate the heads up. Fresh brown dogs and a new crown tranny mount here

 

Nice! Those 37s look right at home!
Hopefully I'll be tossing some on next year and catch that deal

 

Synthetic rope - what are you guys running? Any recommendations?

 

Hmmm thats good to know. I am debating going back to the PROs, now that my long commute is over, and was thinking 33's. But essentially a 34 would be perfect

 

These were 315/70-17 so keep that in mind. Sometimes other sizes will run closer than others. According to Cooper's website they are the exact same measurement as the 35x12.5s though

 

37s showed up. Much better.

 

Closer to a 35 like you hoped?
