The front is just about perfect, the rear I could get away with less, but the speedbumps are pretty tall so it is what it is.
I was debating running those springs but wasn't sure if the 2.5 gave the 2drs more ride height or not. I'm running 4dr tf springs on mine now just wasn't sure if metalcloak made 2dr specific coils or not

But these tires are 35's not 37's.

Running the 2.5" AEV lift, 37s, and trimmed fenders, and I wheel it without any issue. The tires run the frame at full steering lock but 99% of the time it's fine.

Procomp 7069s. I like the looks as well but they are getting torn up in the rocks. Likely switching to a beadlock soon or at least something with a removable rock ring.

2.5" X factor and 37s. Need to adjust my shock mounts and add about 2" of bumpstop to the rear. My front is pretty good I may not run any bumpstop, just need to cut off the metal fender flare support
