Willys-Overland JT Build

Congrats. Looks good. The black paint with the black soft top looks really sharp.

Thanks. I think I saw you’re running 35s. Did you add a lift or leveling kit?

Oooooohhwee! Nice truck and shocker, a Willy's to boot! Yeah, you're gonna have to jump to at least 37's.
I also see a nice bed rack for the kayaks in the future. Maybe even a RTT.....

Thanks. Yeah I was looking at options for racks that would come off quick for transporting my kayak. Damn thing is too big.

I am running 35s. I ran 35s for 7 months on stock suspension. I do have the Max Tow version, so I'm not sure if anything differs in regards to the springs vs the overland model. I took it off road a few times on very very light stuff and did not disconnect and still had no rubbing at all. In September of 2020, I installed the Rancho leveling kit and gained exactly 2.25 inches in the front (stock front bumper, no winch). I think it's a perfect look.

Congrats on that new JT. .super sharp!! 35s would be okay. 37s is the answer though.

That's definitely a great looking rig...

I swore I would never buy another black vehicle, they look fantastic but keeping them looking good is too much work for me

Congrats, Sweet rig, All your old jeeps were as well

That’s part of the tough decisions. I have some low mileage 35s on beadlocks in my garage so I’m trying to decide:

1. Am I ambitious enough to break them down to jump up a size.

2. Is it worth the ~$1000 budget hit to move up.


I know the right answer is 37s but..

I’d be worried you’d regret the 35s the first time you hit the trail and have wasted time and money. If you intend on wheeling it here on the eastern half of the US, you’re going to need 37s to clear.
