Wow! That looks amazing! How big of a spacer do you have on them 37's? What size rims? Any rubbing? If not, how?
I wanted to go with 35s but your rig is making me rethink.

Very nice! And only 2.5" of lift?! Mine is at 4" and been toying with the idea of lowering to 2.5". Just didn't know if it were possible.

I wanted to go with 35s but your rig is making me rethink.
Here is the specs:
2.5" Rough Country x-series kit that we have "tuned" for lack of a better term
moved rear axle back about 1"
pass. upper control arm removed
recently added Bilstein 5100s
Moved up rear shock mount about 1.5"
removed rear swaybar
3" front bumpstop
2" rear bumstop
spring clips/retainers front and rear
cut factory flares
cut down factory front bumper
rear EVO d-ring mounts
17" Pro-comp wheels
1.5" Spidertrax wheels spacers
still running D30 up front w/ stock 4.10 gear
we have our own sleeve, gusseted, and trussed D30 housing going in soon
*I'm sure I have missed something
We have been more than pleased at the way this setup rides and performs.
This set up will flex just as much, if not more than any kit on the market but using mostly RC products it doesn't cost and arm and leg.
Rough Country also provides a lifetime warranty on their products.

Yes very possible, still have plenty of room. The lower the better, handles better on and offroad!

Thanks for the specs! So you just removed that arm altogether? Not triangulated?

Gives me hope. I'm already in need of proper bumpstops as mine are just a little short.

You have no rear sway bar? I know when I go from my rear antirock to disconnecting it. Freeway driving feels pretty washy. Did you have to relocate your rear Trackbar bracket on your frame side to accommodate your rear axle being pushed back? I know it get pretty close to the rear diff cover especially if your running armored covers.
Did you have to extend your rear lower spring perches or cut and angle them as well?
How about extended driveshaft?
