Not on my JL or JT but I've done it a couple of times on my JK's. Great looking setup but it has it's pluses and minuses and enough so of the later that I now run 13.50 again.

My purpose is for the Pacific Northwest muddy conditions.

The kind of super tight trails that you guys have IS the reason why I stopped running 15.50. With full width axles and 15.50s, my JK's stood super wide and it was difficult to squeeze in between the trees. I would NOT recommend them for you.

So what you’re saying is, if the trails weren’t tight you’d go back to running 15.5s.

I was wondering the same thing. I have 38 x 15.5 SSRs on my gen 1 RAM and I love them. They drive and handle fantastic and they look awesome. I've been itching to put some on my jlur but was hoping to get some feedback first.

Here's a shot of Rubicat back when she was running 40x15.50s

Did you notice any ride/handling changes over a 13.50?

They track more on the highway as in, they'll pick groves and want to follow them more. Even with a ram assist, they'll offer some resistance when aired down low and on grippy terrain. Comparing a Toyo 37x13.50 with it's load range D, the ride quality is about the same - kinda harsh unless you run them at about 24 psi.
