  I really think you have some of the best Jeep content. Please keep it up.<br>Your other videos convinced me to run a 2.5&quot; lift on my JLU Rubicon with Icon Pro lockers on Nito 38&quot;x12.5&quot; tires. I added an Apex power steering valve kit to get factory like steering back. I added &nbsp;only an extra 1/4&quot; to the lift kits rear bump stop so the rear tires don&apos;t rub. The front winch bumper also isn&apos;t stock so There&apos;s more room there too.<br>Love my Nito 38s. With my light weight aluminum Icon Pro wheels, the wheel weight is less than a lot of 37s on heavier wheels.

  I crawled 38&apos;s on stock 44&apos;s for years in a 2014 JKRU. Now I&apos;m in a 2021 Gladiator. Just installed a 3&apos;&quot; Rock Krawler triangulated arm lift, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bshz_BSlTqE&amp;t=313">5:13</a> gears and lockers. And of course hydro assist steering like I had on the Wrangler. Hydro assist is a great upgrade. I burned up 2 pumps on the Wrangler before the upgrade. Next step is drive shafts. I haven&apos;t had this one off road yet because I&apos;m breaking in the gears. I do worry about rubbing the fenders.

  Great video Ali. Was debating going from 37” to 38”. You’ve definitely made it a more realistic option for me👍🏽. Thanks bro

  I appreciate the comparison Ali. I’m considering 37” or 38” nitros to replace my 37” KO2&apos;s. This helps for sure. 👍🏼

  I’ve seen quite a few of those ball joints delete kit and i drove rigs with them and would not run them on a good daily driver / wheeler.<br>Some reason you loose your return to center with those when steering and they can and most of the time get loud as hell.<br>That’s my oppinion coming from east coast Canada where we get 6 feet of snow and gallons of salt in the road in the winter, may be different elsewhere but my first hand experience was that.<br>If i HAD to run some, i would get the ones from TMR that you have shown there.<br>I got bumpers from TMR and the TMR 2.5Ton steering and everything TMR is absolutely amazing and the customer service is top notch. Tim and Mike sure know how to run a company.<br>I run Dynatrac Balljoints on my JL and absolutely love them and would probably not run anything else.<br>As always love the videos man 🤙🏻<br>Cheers.

  Great video, I have a 22 JLRU 4xE, I was getting some Death wobble with the stock setup, installed the Teraflex 3.5 kit with falcons, death wobble intensified. &nbsp;Installed the steer smart steering reinforcement bracket, that helped a little bit when I switched the tie rod to the Yeti 1.75 aluminum, all my issues disappeared. &nbsp;Just wanted to drop that note since you said you had not done much with the steering components. &nbsp;This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen, looking forward to going through some others!!

  Right on the money. That&apos;s what they need !<br><br>Good move with the fox shocks. Reduce wheel hop, etc.<br><br>Looks like the recommended pressure after the tire size change is actually 25 psi. <br><br>Should ride pretty good if you do that . <br><br>Big tires !

  Great vid as usual. Just put on the AEV DualSport Suspension lift with the 3 in high capacity coils (full time AluCab Canopy and RTT, with most of my offroad gear and mountain biking gear and bike in the bed 24/7, so she’s a heavy girl). &nbsp;Have the AEV Savagre II wheels. And 35 in Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws (I liked the OEM 33s so much I stuck with them when I went to 35s- I need a tire that is good in snow and on slick rock and these, well rock, and also perform pretty well in mud for a non-mudder). &nbsp;These are the same 35s I’ve been running since prior to the lift. This is my daily and, while I get offroad a fair amount for a city-slicker (having a place in the mountains near an offroad park helps, as does being about 80% packed for a trip 24/7) she still sees a LOT of pavement. So I am really torn about moving up in tire size. Probably wouldn’t go to 38s, but great to see what your experience has been. Thinking maybe 37s though, but would def need a regear from the 4.10s, and probably would want to change out the geo of some of the other driveline components, and I’m just not sure it’s worth it for an extra inch of diff clearance. The diff is already at 11 inches and the rest of it is pretty high, I’ll have to take some actual measurements. I’ll probably wait until I wheel it a bit more come the better weather to make my decision. Keep the vids coming/ they’re great- be great to see a full length one of this rig on the trails. Speaking of which, this isn’t what you had at Windrock is it? &nbsp;Anyway, cheers. 🤙
