Greetings everyone! I've been debating my next move and figured I would ask for some thoughts. Besides the basic axle mods (waiting on ball joints to come in and then I'll be throwing my evo gussets on), I'm trying to decide on either a new lift or just adding a body lift. I'm completely ok with my 3" bds lift (fox 2.0's added) but I would like a bit more room to stuff these 37's. I like the lcg that the 3" gives me. Unfortunately I don't have time between work,school, and having a newborn to justify a coilover and long arm setup so I'm weighing my options. Can anyone lend some advice?

Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!!

What kind of offroading do you do? very few people actually need 37s let alone coilovers and long arms. Hell i run some decently hard trails out here with guys on 37s and 40s and I only have 35s. Most of them run long travel shocks and coils or air shocks. Also your profile is not filled in so we have no idea what you all have to make any recommendations. Coilovers are damn nice, but imo there best when your fabbing and building a rig with lots of custom variables.

I'm running the same lift and currently at 35" tires. Going to 37" in future. I know I would shy away from body lifts. Start with flat fenders, pinch weld mod and it already looks like you are covering the gussets etc. That's a start but I'm sure others will chime in.

What year is your jeep? Got a picture of how it sits?

I like to push it when I do go out. I live in NE TN where there's tons of trails. Also very close to windrock and black mtn offroad parks. It's not a question of tire size but more of what's the best way to achieve more articulation . Thanks for the quick response!

Articulation really just comes down to shocks. Collapsed, Extended and travel and what will fit your rig. Your the only one that can measure what would be best on your rig. Also do you plan on moving shock mounts and such or no? It will put more stress on bushings and such.

Pinch mod and chopped fenders have worked awesome but I'm still wanting more room to flex.

Oh and it's a 2010

You dont necessarily need more room to flex, it all comes down to the shock size you can fit in your current set up. If you make more room and cant use the flex theres no point. You need to measure your shock mounts On full bump and see what you get. Once running about 28-29" extended shocks you will start running into coil issues. Also body lifts arent necessarily a bad thing either.

Do you know the dimensions of your current shocks?

flat fenders will give you more room for articulation then a lift will. As stated before your shock set up will have more of an affect on maxing out your suspension travel.
