Does anybody have this setup? I have a 2012 JKUR with flat fender flares and a GC 2.5" ARB lift. I need new rubber and am teetering between 35s and 37s. I was thinking of getting the 3.5" coils if need be but don't really want to do that. Does anyone have this setup with 37" tires?

You can make it work. You may have to add more bumpstop to keep from rubbing but it will work. There is a guy running 1.5" RK triple rates with 37s on here. Another with no lift and 37s. The flat flares will help

I run fenderless with the same lift on my 2 door with 35s and I could easily run 37s.

Not the lift height to clear larger tires thing again... I think it's time to add a sticky as an addendum to dirtmans write up. Maybe I'll work on that.

That's great to know cause I really want to go with 37s but don't want to have to go with a higher lift or trim pinch seams or anything. Cool, sounds like 37s are going on. Thanks.

Maybe you should. Cause that's what it's all about - do not add any more lift than what you need to accommodate the tires you want to run. At least that is one of the things that seemed to be stressed in dirtman's write-up.

What year do you have. It's the rear seam mainly you might have to pinch. I believe in 2012 they start coming trimmed from factory.

Does your rear pinch seam come to a point or is it angled?
