Default 37's??

2012 jku with a 2.5" skyjacker. I'm currently running 315/60/20's without any rubbing even when I'm wheeling. If I swap to flat fenders and I'm ordering a mid length bumper next week do you think I could run a 37x12.50 trail grappler without any issues?

You will likely need to increase the length of your bumpstops but other than that you should be fine. Throw em on and cycle the suspension, adjust as needed. Enjoy!

I had to edit this because as I re-read I assumed you were strictly talking about clearance assuming you had already considered the other issues such as gearing, axle strengthening etc?

Well said! Besides, if they rub, it won't be forever. Eventually the tires will just rip off whatever is in the way. Then you'll have room for 40's!

You might want to think about that mid width bumper...
