Default 37s and no lift.

100% stock suspension plus 1.5 front coil spacers to level it out. Stock bumpstops with zero rubbing in rear wheel well. Only rubs front fender tabs. Been running this way for 8 months or longer. Have lots of pics if anyone wants to see anything specific. I just want to show what can be done with proper trimming of the rear wheel wells which are the only reason you need big lifts or any lift to run big tires. Idk wtf Jeep was thinking when they designed the wheel wells. There's so much that can be removed without robbing fender mounting surface or structural integrity.

I love the LCG look with big tires. In fact, I tried it a couple of times only to end up going taller because I got tired of dragging belly.

Haha. I only rub every once in a while. When I do it's my rocker knockers or a skid which I don't care about. I don't have any boulder fields where I live though either. So I get away with it more than others.
