I have a 3"FT Ultimate with 35s. I would like to go up to 37s. Willl the 37s fit? I plan to change to a flat fender. Any downside to moving up to 37s?

 

Piginajeep has a FT 3in LA on 37's, flat fenders

 

pigs jk before flat fenders

 

Your tires will rub on the front & rear bumper as well as the fenders while flexing. They fit though.

I have a 4.5" lift with 37's and I rub in all those areas. New rear bumper has fix one problem. new front in the mail as well as flat fenders.


You can see the front tire buried in the wheel well. It rubs bigtime on that front bumper.

 

Have you also considered running a 1" Body lift with that combo? That may help some bit...

 

Pigina just put flat fenders and longer bumpstops to solve his rubbing right? It looks really good imo.. Let's wait for him to come in. Body lift would help but I wouldn't unless absolutely necessary.

Any thoughts on the kinds of adjustments that need to be made too? Caster etc? those can be an issue too with 3' and 37's right? Isnt the word on the street that 3' and 35's are about as high as you can go before you need to make those adjustments????

 

cut your bumpers down....

 

If you run flat fenders or run your stock fenders with the guts taken out, you have enough clearance for 37's. You'll need to cut some off the pinch seam, I just followed the lines of the Purejeep rockers and it was enough. It was maybe 1-2" off the corner

I then installed bump stops from a 4" Fulltraction kit and it worked out perfect. It stuffs the tires into the fender and stops just where I need it too.

the only downside is, If your not regeared. You might want too. 37's are at the limit for D44 IMO, if your running a front Dana30. Your just asking for trouble.

There should not be any adjustments needed for swapping tires, the angles dont change. Now if you changed spring height, then you would need to make adjustments.
