38s with NO LIFT Jeep Wrangler TJ | DO They FIT?!

  • We had this crazy idea to try to fit MASSIVE 38 inch tires on our STOCK Suspension Jeep TJ Rubicon! We also show off our new Rocktrix rims and explain why its ULTRA important to get larger tires balanced properly. If you are new to our channel, welcome! We bought this jeep wrangler TJ Rubicon about 2 months ago and we have been building it ever since. If you haven't seen the video series, be sure to check out our channel, here is the link to our official Price reveal ( • We Bought the CHEAPEST... )
    We hear about many people trying to fit 35s on a stock height TJ. Well today we attempt to fit in 38s on the stock height! When choosing tires, we went with the Milestar Patagonia 38x13.50r17 tires and we decided to mount them on the amazing 17x9 Rocktrix rims. What a killer combo! These tires are known to be ultra quiet and they perform really well off road - we can't wait to take them out on the trails and see how they perform! In this video, we also explain the importance of a proper balancer, the road force balancer which we got done at America's Tire! On Next Week's episode, we will be installing a Skyjacker Suspensions 4 inch dual rate coil spring lift kit to help get this build along.

      Hi! Thanks for the support! It will most likely be our weekend cruiser/ trail rig! I think they are pretty good tires and from what we hear they last a while if you rotate them every 3-5,000 miles! Small price to pay for the amazing tires + the bonus that they are SILENT

    I run Dyna Beads in my mud tires and can’t speak highly enough about the way they perform. The problem with Road Force balancing is yes their balanced now while new but as tires wear or a lug gets ripped gravel mud etc gets hung in lugs now it’s out of balance that’s where the Beads shine. A lot of people put BBs or cheap beads in and have subpar results. But if a high quality bead is used the results are amazing. Just my experience on the subject. I enjoy your channel.

    Hello guys. Thanks for the vids. You always have awesome content. I am new to the Jeep scene. I bought a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4.0L (is that a TJ?). It's all stock so I want to lift it 4" and put 33's on it. It currently has 16" rims on it that look exactly like the ones you took off in this vid. I am trying to find a fifth one for the spare (anyone please help) but can't find one anywhere. What kind and size tire can I put on my stock 16" rim?

    That is impressive! I recently went up to 35s on my TJ (I have been overbuilt on my 33s for a while!) and I can safely say that lifting 35's is no easy task. I do not want to go taller just because they are so heavy as is, haha! I'd never be able to put a spare on!

    I bet with true highline fenders, 1.25" body lift, and possibly a 3" suspension lift, and a really long bumpstop, you could run it. But then your axles are gonna say goodbye. I look forward to seeing your supporting mods!

      Being its a 2.4 it should have 4.10 gears in it. 4.10 are more than capable for 33 inch tires. However because it's a 2.4 you have a Dana 35. Wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a 33 unless you upgrade to chromoly shafts front and rear and even at that I wouldn't go bigger than a 35.

  • @christopherziliotto1831
    @christopherziliotto1831 4 года назад +3

    Random but may be highly significant: please look up using an impact gun on spacers on wheels- In my research the way to have issues with wheels coming off and damaging them is to use an impact gun instead of using a Torque Wrench set to the specific required torque so they aren't loose or too tight. Especially installing spacers. I may be wrong, but I have watched a LOT of videos that say that you shouldn't be using the gun because that increases the chances of damaging and adding dangerous stress to the spacers. Just wanted to have you look into it and be careful... Thanks

    Road force balancing doesn't take any weights? Your driverside rear tire has 3 and a half rows of weights.

      Yup! Usually they don't take any weights is what we were told. They had to add some weights to give us a perfect balance. So far. So good.

    • @Garagecouple
      @Garagecouple  3 года назад +2

      There is no difference between running a spacer or finding the rim with the exact offset. It's very difficult to find rims with the exact offset. Spacers allow flexibility in choosing rims

    • @michaelshuler3349
      @michaelshuler3349 3 года назад

      @@Garagecouple yeah I get that. You might find a rim with the right offset, but an ugly design. I would just be scared of sawing off the original studs to put spacer on. I have 2" spacers on my duramax and running 20x12 with a -44 offset. So I'm not 100% against spacers, I just dont like the fact you have to cut the studs that you're mounting too.

    Sorry but that was dumb. No tire larger than 35’s should go on ANY Jeep stock axles. You need One tons for any tire larger than 35”. Even for a 35” tire you really need 4” of lift and 1.25” body lift. I’d recommend a 4” Savvy or Currie lift with a savvy 1.25” body lift. Nothing but the best all other lift kits don’t compare and are trash. My Savvy lift is the best.

      It is not drivable at all. Those Dana 44 axles will break and you will cost your viewers a ton of money.
      38’s stock with no lift means you have stock gears and the jeep will be a dam turtle with a bunch of things rubbing. You need at least 5.25” of lift to even run 35’s correctly.

    First and foremost tire balancing WILL NOT cause death wobble. Second those tires will fi and clear on the road with a proper highline fender up front and a good tub trim in the back this will never work offroad without some serious suspension mods like setting it up for a droop style suspension. Real highlines and 3.5” suspension lift and all will be well in the world.

      Furthermore a road force balance is a total waste of money on a Jeep. Balance beads and be done. I am running equal now and have run airsoft BB’s in the past and both don’t care if the tire spins in the bead on the trail they are always balanced. Your Road Force balancing will need redone the first time you spin a bead. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @jeremywhitcraft7415
      @jeremywhitcraft7415 4 года назад +1

      Death wobble is not caused by poorly balanced tires period. If you think it is you are extremely misinformed. The cause of death wobble is worn suspension components and the leading cause is improper Castor settings. If you thought it had something to do with balancing then you probably had a wheel not installed correctly and got it right after the balance job. I’ve been working on solid front axle vehicles for 25+ years and never once has tire balance caused death wobble. Mater of fact I’ve run numerous sets of tires that have never even been balanced and guess what no death wobble.

    • @Garagecouple
      @Garagecouple  4 года назад +1

      Death wobble is a subjective term. It is caused by a number of different issues. First thing to check is the low hanging fruit such as balance and alignment. We had an issue with death wobble that resolved with a re balance.

I personally wouldn't want to use them without regearing, but there is absolutely no 'need' to regear. If anything, regearing would do MORE damage, as the pinions get much smaller, things are spinning faster, etc. Taller gears (lower number) are actually stronger than lower gears (higher number).
