2007 Jeep JK Bumpers with 37"Tires
Guys need your help. I am in the process of ordering 2007 Wrangler 4dr Front and Rear Chrome Tubular Bumpers MOPAR for my 2007 Wrangler. I am also going with 37"Mikey Thompson Tires. I am afraid that 37"Tires will not fit on the stock Tire Carrier or these new Bumpers. I have checked all the websites and so far only HighRock 4X4™ Oversize Tire Carrier For 2007 Jeep Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK is available even that I am not sure. Any ideas or advise what should I do. May be a oversize Tire Carrier Adaptor perhaps??????

A 37 is going to be a good amount of weight on the stock door. I would think about a new bumper tire carrier combo. I have one on order from Jeeperman. Should be here mid next week. I am also running 37s. I will take some pics once it is installed. There is a write-up about a Lod bumper tire carrier also. Looks like a nice setup.
Goodluck

I just finished my lift (4.5 RE Long Arm) and installed 37 x 13.50. So far the only thing that rubs is the plastic "skid plate" that is on the bottom of the front bumper, but just barely at full wheel lock, but I haven't wheeled it yet. As for the stock spare tire carrier, yeah right There's no way. I have 17" wheels with 4.75 back space. I have the Jeeperman rear on order, if it would only get here sometime this year!
I know, I know I'll get pics up after the Jeeperman rear gets here.

So how was the install? Do you have to drill anything? How much was hte kit, if you don't mind me asking.

The install was a mutha. I lucked out and had the help of a mechanic friend of mine who has a bitchin set of tools, being a mechanic and all. Actually the front end wasn't that bad, pretty straight forward. But, the rear frame brackets that attach the rear lower arms was very time consuming and difficult. You have to drill several holes in the frame, and if you've ever drilled through a frame you know how hard that is. Then there is a fair amount of welding. You should have professional help, in my opinion, if you aren't very confident in your personal abilities.
The kit cost me $3199, ouch, but it look awesome. I'll post pics when I get my bumper on.

Does that mean that I can actually fit a 37" Tire on the stock door of my JK2007. The issue is that i have already ordered MOPAR tubular steel bumpers for front and rear so ordering other rear bumper will not be the same.

Spare Adapter
You can order an adapter from Warrior to mount your spare on the tailgate, the cost was $65.00 and comes with a tail light extension. Put one on mine with 37" Toyo MT until my Purejeep rear bumper comes in.
