Default 4" lift and 37's. Rubbing?

IM considering going to 37's this week but I'm concerned that I will end up with a whole list of problems. I believe my procomp wheels have 4.5" backspacing I have a 4" zone suspension lift and cut factory flares...... Looks Like a lil sway bar rubbing could happen up front... Any input. My 35's don't rub at all.

I doubt you'll rub. You have the correct backspacing and clearance for a good amount of flex with 37's.

Cool! Well a guy offered me cash+37's for my 35's so I wanted to make sure before I swapped. Really want the bigger tires. I feel like I have too much fender well.

Did disconnecting the sway bars make it worse?

Usually, yes. When you disconnect you can flex more...which means it will rub on more. Unless you have proper clearance.
