Pentastar on 35s ?

Jonesy86 · Jan 15, 2018

So here’s the break down.

I have a 2016 Quad cab Pentastar with 3:55s. No I didn’t want the HEMI ! After owning a HEMI before I was tired of passing everyone but a gas station!

I’m currently running 33s on it with a 2.5 level with zero issues.. love it.

Now I’m finding myself in the need of a possible lift, with work conditions and being up north that extra little bit of clearance would go a long way! (4 maybe 6 inches)

I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience running a 35 on that set up ? I don’t want to lift the truck and not be able to accommodate a bigger tire and it looking like garbage. I understand I may lose a bit of power, which I’m willing to deal with.

Nobody ? Lol

If I'm understanding the question correctly. think you should be fine. I would imagine that everything on the truck is the same as everyone else's except the engine? Therefore the only difference would be power loss from the bigger tires/drag from extra height. Tons of trucks on here with 4-6" of lift and 35's.

Are you 2x4 or 4x4?

So based on your first post, I would recommend looking at some 4" lift set ups. RCX, Superlift, and Zone would be a good place to start. BDS if you have the funds. You would be able to run 35's just fine. Also, all of those lifts would replace your current 2.5 level. I think the superlift set up w/ bilstein's is a pretty good all around package for the money. Also, browse around the lifted section, and use the search function. Soooo much info on this site about lifting your truck.

And this should prob be moved over to the lifted section...

I what about the pentastar pushing 35” AT tires ? I’m having a hard time finding any info with the pentastar. But ya there’s an endless supply of info on here!

I can only speak to Wrangler with 4.10s. it'll move but it won't get any acceleration records.

I think someone on the "z" forum has this setup and spoke to it in the 3.6 section of the forum.

By the time you are done you won't be able to pass hardly any thing on the road or a gas station I am afraid. I also had a Wrangler with Pentastar and 35s . Like the Hemi not a lot of torque in the rpm range you normally drive in , unlike the 360 magnum was.

mohemipar · Jan 18, 2018

As others have pointed out, it'll definitely do it, but just won't be fast. And it will hurt your MPG. There are lots of guys running 6 and even 4 cyl Jeeps with 35's without a problem though. But a lot of complaints about lack of power. Why you see a ton of people wishing the Wrangler had a 5.7 option. Will also need to get your speedometer corrected.

I have a 2017 with the 3.6L and I'm running a maxtrac 4.5 lift and 35s. I love it. I was getting around 19.5mpg and now I'm getting 18. The factory size tire is actually a true 33" if you look up the Goodyear specs. My 35" nitto is really only a 34.5"

jrod1989 · Feb 23, 2018

I've owned two hemi's before. A 2013 and 2014. Both with a 8" lift and 37s. I was lucky to get 13mpg

pwjouster · Feb 23, 2018

i didnt mind the pentastar on 35s for two of my wrangler builds. one with 3.21s and one with 4.10

4.10 was better all around but damn...lose the pentastar as the only option jeep...

it is doable on your rig but those setups always lose their fun and youll burn out of boredom looking for something more... 3.6 and 35s in a truck just isnt a good match.

my powerwagon 2500 with the 6.4 hemi and toyo rt 35s/17 will do 18 MPG at 75 if there is no headwind.
yet i average 10 MPG with all the idling and lead footing i do.

I have a 2015 jeep jku on 35's w the pentastar 3.6L. No issues moves just fine
