Default 4 inch lift with 37's?

Thinking about putting a 4 inch lift on and switching out the 35's for 37's, so question is who's running this set up and can I see some pics? Going to go on a 08 2 door

Plenty of good 2-door pics here to get you started...

You definitely have some trimming to do. Personally I think a nice beefy 35 is better suited on a 2dr. And more stable as well.

That is definitely a personal opinion.

I'm running 37s on a 3.5" metalcloak lift and I couldn't be happier. Stepped up to that from 35s and a 2.5" lift. I don't think 35s are better suited for a 2 door at all. In fact, it's entirely up to what the OP is willing to invest and what the intended use is for the Jeep.

To the OP, if you want to do that, go for it. But if you do it, do it right and know how to properly setup your steering. Use adjustable control arms to get your driveline angles as best as they can be. And yes, be aware that you'll need to do some trimming for the 37s. You most likely will also want to regear and beef up axle components for the wear and tear that the heavier tire will put on the axles.

I'm running 37s on 2.5 and it's disgustingly stable

Same here. My buddy who I wheel with took out his 4" springs and swapped in some shorter ones after trailing me on several trips. He says it's night and day how much more stable the vehicle is now

My buddy had 6" coils on his tj and went down to 3" as well. Huge difference.

Over time parts will be switched out, just got a truck so my jeep isn't may dd anymore and wanting to beef up the jeep now that I don't have to worry about driving it to work on the following morning. Hopefully start getting on the harder trails
