Got rid of my heavy front bumper. Now have PS brawler lite and my JK handles much better on the highway. Seriously

I thought 37s were the new 35s?
Don't 35s weigh considerably less?:mooning:

From 4wheeler:
But consider that a typical 37-inch mud tire weighs about 10 pounds more than a typical 35-inch mud tire. That may not seem like much, however it's rotating weight, meaning it's added weight that your engine has to turn and your brakes have to stop. The general rule of thumb is that every 10 pounds of wheel weight equals 100 pounds of carried weight inside the Jeep. So by going with the 37s instead of the 35s, you effectively add another 400 pounds of cargo to your Jeep.
