Default Just wondering about 37s

If I have a 3 inch BDS lift with 1.5in Teraflex spacers and a 1.25 body lift is that enough to clear Nitto Trail Grappler 37s? Or do you think I need flat fenders also?

Just thinking for the future.

sounds like plenty of lift specially with flat fenders. the only thing you may need to do is trim the pinch seems behind the rear wheels. i'd gusset the front "C s" also as they're prone to bending even with 35s.

Yes, but you need to check the height of your bump stops. You'll most likely want 2.5 in rear and 1.5-2 in front. Teraflex rear stops, 1954700, are what I run.

Should be enough with pinch seam trimmed. In this pic my fenders are trimmed, 1"body lift with 37" leaning up against the jeep.

OME lift going on this weekend and chopping the front bumper.

How much OME lift? You sure that's going to work?

This is what it looks like with the 35s

Although I dont think it looks to bad as it is, Im just checking for "future reference" of course

bumpers and winch come in friday so it will come down a bit

3" OME lift with 619 and 618 coils. I'm told it will work but not 100% sure until we stuff those tires into the wheel well and drive it.

Lift kit came with OME shocks, teraflex arms, jks swaybars and teraflex Bumpstops.

Crossing fingers!

I put 37's on my JK with a Full Traction 3'' lift......

If you plan on adding bumpers/winch definitely look at getting 1'' front and rear spacers and also readjusting your bumpstops. Otherwise if you have people in your back seat plus some stuff in the trunk you will get a lot of rubbing.
