Default Dealership Lift

There is a 4x4 shop in a dealership near here called Fortech Jeep. They said they can put on the 4" lift/bumpers/driveshafts/rails and include it in the loan. They cant get the tires(Trxus MT 37x12.50R17LT) or rims(Cragar Soft 8 17x8, 4.5" BS), they said they can get Cragar Soft 8 17 x 9 with 5” back spacing for $98), that i want and they said they wont do the drivetrain work i wanted done, new gears and alloy axles. Do you guys think this is worth it?

I figure it is good, at least some of the stuff will be included in the loan.

Would 5" backspacing or 4.5" be beter with the 37" tires?

I assume you are in Atlanta.... All the Fortech Jeeps I have seen at Nalley Jeep in Roswell look really good, but the price they charge seems a tad ridiculous. I also have been told (again only told) that they use real low budget parts.

Yeah they got a bad name with most jeepers since they are known for installing a 3" body lift on a TJ to be able to fit bigger tires. They Are willing to use whatever parts/brands i want to use. Such as my list here..

[Lift] - 4" Full Traction
[Tires] - Trxus MT (37x12.50R17LT)
[Rims] - Cragar Soft 8 17x8, 4.5" BS
[Drive Shafts] - JE Reel 1350 Heavy Duty Drive Shafts
[Front Bumper] - Shrockworks stuby
[Rear Bumper] - LOD w/jerry cans w/trail rack
[Rails] - Shrockworks
[Winch] - Ramsey 9500

They wont install the 5.13 gears or the axles.

You may want to check out Mall of GA jeep. They are selling some nice looking JKs with the Skyjacker lift (I think) and 33x12.50s. Not sure on the price, but their service department is being very cooperative with the stalling out problems I have encountered, so I would recommend them.
See my post "Stalling Out" under stock JK if you are interested in reading about the problems I have encountered.

Will they install aftermarket parts that you pick? Will they include it in the loan?
