Im going with 37's myself when my xterrains are worn out. I measured them yesterday by the way for the install of my flashpaq and they are 33 3/4" tall. So much for 35's...

Yeah...before the Krawlers I had 35 BFG KM's when I measured them for the AEV ProCal they were 33.5

Good news was the Krawlers were really 37 inches tall.....bad news was the 37's were really 37 inches tall. Meant I needed more lift

your 4.5 lift - is that actual amount of lift? if not, do you know what the actual was. in the pics above, that's with your teraflex lift and the jks acos and that's it?

It was put on at the dealership the day I bought the jeep. They said it was "a teraflex 4 inch kit but on my 2 door it gave me 4.5" After I got the Jeep Home I added all the weight....(AEV bumper, winch, PJ rear bumper, Sliders, ORFab carrier with gas cans etc) and I think My lift sank to between 3 and 3.5 over stock. It was fine for 35's and never rubbed but as soon as I saw the 37's mounted I knew I as going to have major rubbage!! I was towing my adventure trailer home from Moab and even the dips in the interstate caused the 37's to rub that little flap in the rear fender well. I took it wheeling and was really easy on it but still rubbed ALOT!!! I had the ACOS installed and have not wheeled it since....will fix that this Saturday but I do not expect it to rub anymore.

Short answer to your question.....1st pic is only the Teraflex lift, 2nd pic is both the teraflex and the ACOS.

that's exactly what i wanted to know. thanks. i suspected the 4.5 was actual net after lift (since i don't think teraflex has a specific 4.5 kit) but i wanted to make sure. i have about 3" net (after lift and with bumpers, etc.) over stock and am concerned that even with the acos, a 37 would rub. did you mention that you still have a little more you can grab from the acos? if you wouldn't mind posting, i would be interested to hear how your wheeling goes. appreciate the info.

I still have a lot of lift I could gain in the front. Tha ACOS in the front are bottomed out (No extra lift) so I could go 3 inches higher there and the rear has about 2 inches out so I could get 1-1.5 more out of the rear if I need it.

I will let you know how it does this weekend, were taking it on a club trail run but there will be camping involved so I am pulling the adventure trailer along for the ride....this will be a good test for rubbing!!
