Default 37's with a 4 inch suspension?

Just got my 2011 wrangler sport and want to lift it and squeeze 37's with just a 4 inch suspension is it possible? I've read that it is but I have also heard that I will need more than just a 4 inch pro comp to fit 37's. Hopefully going to put flat fenders eventually to to give it more clearance. thanks!

I just got 37in Toyos installed this morning and I'm running a Teraflex 4in.

And just look for me around town, I too live in Alpharetta.

Just curious, why a Procomp 4in?

Basic BDS 3" lift with 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers. I cut the stock flares, cut 2" off of the Rubi rails, and trimmed the pinch seam. The Nitto's are 13.5" wide, so I'm running 1.5" spacers - no rubbing at full turn.



A couple of flex pictures:

You can do it with Bushwacker or Zenon fenders or fender chop. I added 1" coil spacers up front and 2" in rear and there is plenty of room for 37's when my 35's wear out. Some do it with a body lift to clear and yeah add more bumpstop.

Alot depends on the brand of lift and if you have a 2 dr or 4 dr, I have room for 37's with flats and some minor trimming / bumpstoping.

I was going to go with the pro comp because of a tight budget but from the looks of some of the pics i might go along with the 1.5 coils and 3 inch bds that thing is bad! seems to be worth the extra 150-ish...

14.50 wide or 13.50 wide?? Do you have a PSC Hydraulic Assist kit installed? If not, how much steering effort with these tires?
