With the rubicon fenders, you can run 32 on a B.B. ($100-$120) no issue. Stock Control arms
It’s not for rock crawling but they can sure stuff up in there
the 4.10 is fine except on extreme inclines or declines where you just turn off your O/D.
I'm running 4.88 with my 33s/5 speed. Deeper gears are better gears, imo.Well shit - 5.13 for the auto? I must have missed that part. Glad I asked.
That just added a lot to the total... lol
I believe I have 16s.
Personally, I would do the 265/75. A half inch taller, half inch narrower. Of course, either will work.So, you should have a metric tire size then. Metric equivalent for a 31 would be a 275/70/R16. Here's a nifty tire calculator.

32’s on 2 inches in a Rubicon can get you a lot of places, not so hard on the wallet.
The half inch narrower would help with rolling resistance but would hurt grip, wouldn't it?Personally, I would do the 265/75. A half inch taller, half inch narrower. Of course, either will work.
If it helps, I am running 31's though, but I did a two inch lift and didn't need a trackbar nor lower my transfercase nor mml lift nor front bumpstops. You may are may not need that stuff, but I lift it, and see what you get at the end.
I mean buy the lift and the bL put it on and drive it. If it vibes lower the tc or buy a mml then. (SYE is the best bet in my opinion though) Also when doing the front springs cycle the suspension to see if front bumpstops are necessary. they weren't for me. Maybe because of the 33's they will be for you, but you may be able to save some money on unnecessary things if you are patient.
Also you will most likely want to regear, but 33's on 4:10's is not the end of the world, meaning you won't have to regear to drive your Jeep. You can regear later when it drives you crazy, but it will still get you to work in the interim.
Nah. That tire is 31.6x10.4 so it is actually a tad larger than the usual/actual sized 31x10.50.The half inch narrower would help with rolling resistance but would hurt grip, wouldn't it?
I daily drove my 5 speed Rubicon on 33s for several years with 4.10 gears. It was ok. I can't imagine thinking the automatic would be acceptable on the highway.
Switching to 4.88, which is one step deeper than most recommend for my transmission and tire size, is one of the best things I have done to mine. Performance-wise, everything is better because of it.
So now I'm looking at...
2" Suspension Lift - https://www.quadratec.com/products/16090_01X_A_PG.htm
1" Body Lift - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005TTZLE2/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Bump Stop Kit - ?
5.13 Re-Gear - $1500-ish
Good Lord. $1000 for the suspension, $100 for the body lift, $1500-ish to re-gear, another $1k for the tires...
I don't see how any of this makes financial sense for me.
The DPG Offroad ultimate kit has all the parts you need for a capable rig at a pretty good price if you decide on 33s. That’s what I went with.
You’ll still want a regear .
Low gears are better both on and off road. There is no downside. You are trying to convince yourself that poor performance is normal for a Jeep. It doesn't need to be that way.My Rubicon is my daily driver and the gearing isn’t a problem. Remember... it’s a Jeep! I didn’t buy my Jeep thinking it would be a highway performance machine.
