Because a TJ on 35's can do wonders and looks just about perfect. That's subjective but something most won't debate :)
That depends on what purpose the Jeep plays. For some it’s off-road others for camping and yet others is just a daily driver with few mods. There are so many different roles a TJ plays that one build design is t right for everyone.
 
Whatever Dave.

Here is your geometry correction kit.

This is my Savvy mid arm.

We did this little climb twice. Same results each time. Tell me more about stability.
Not fair... you had the giraffe to weigh you down :p jk

on a more serious note, do you think garrets jeep wouldnt have hopped as much if he had a front correction too?

I did all the wonders on 33's that people did at Moab on 35's and 37's. Never had a problem, never bounced like in the video. I've done the same round here in N ID where most run 37's on TJ's. I do agree 35's look good, the 33's look good too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is the other likely suspect in the discussion. I wish I'd taken that line so I had a video of what happened on 33's without a midarm or Dave's geometry correction bracket. I suspect I know though.

I think we'd be hopping all over😂
 
But your front end didnt hop though?
Garrets bucks forward and back while yours stays planted, is the lifting front end due to the rear loosing and gaining traction(hopping) and when it grips up it pulls up the front end causing the front hop? Is this why?
 
If the front pulls sufficient, and it's difficult to know from just watching the video how steep that is, but I've been there, so I have an idea, but the amount of traction the front can get can make a difference.

Anyone have a video of that climb on a lesser build so "we know" the geometry is closer to original correct?

It would have been nice to see a "non corrected" TJ make that climb. Right now, we don't know if it would have been similar or worse.
@Brandough made that climb in a short arm lifted TJ. He had some momentum and was on the throttle but I can’t remember how much wheel hop there was. Maybe someone has a video of it. Dino made that climb in his midarm LJ too.

Same here, I was really impressed with how my rig performed on 33s and unlocked, this trip has really bade me enjoy staying on 33s, and I dont really plan on 35s anytime soon. Only problem is that 33s work until they dont. Some places you really do need 35s to not be crashing into everything. Especially the places where I like to wheel

I have a stock TJ on 31"s that will do things that most people feel are wonders but it won't come close to what my TJ on 35's can do.

Wonder is subjective!

I also love that jeep on 31"s and have no intent of changing it.

I saw this several times this trip to Moab; sometimes 33's have an advantage over 35's or larger. Or that could be attributed to driver. Other factors are involved like TCase ratio.

I think there are too many variables to simply try it in another rig. Shocks, weight and gearing play a large role too.

I promise, you would have hopped on this one lol. Ask @taylormade73 who hopped even in his LJ doing the same line. It’s the large bumps in the middle of it that get you hopping.
