3" lift - 37's - Now what?!
Greetings everyone! I've been debating my next move and figured I would ask for some thoughts. Besides the basic axle mods (waiting on ball joints to come in and then I'll be throwing my evo gussets on), I'm trying to decide on either a new lift or just adding a body lift. I'm completely ok with my 3" bds lift (fox 2.0's added) but I would like a bit more room to stuff these 37's. I like the lcg that the 3" gives me. Unfortunately I don't have time between work,school, and having a newborn to justify a coilover and long arm setup so I'm weighing my options. Can anyone lend some advice?
Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!!

I'm running the same lift and currently at 35" tires. Going to 37" in future. I know I would shy away from body lifts. Start with flat fenders, pinch weld mod and it already looks like you are covering the gussets etc. That's a start but I'm sure others will chime in.

I like to push it when I do go out. I live in NE TN where there's tons of trails. Also very close to windrock and black mtn offroad parks. It's not a question of tire size but more of what's the best way to achieve more articulation . Thanks for the quick response!

Articulation really just comes down to shocks. Collapsed, Extended and travel and what will fit your rig. Your the only one that can measure what would be best on your rig. Also do you plan on moving shock mounts and such or no? It will put more stress on bushings and such.

Pinch mod and chopped fenders have worked awesome but I'm still wanting more room to flex.

Do you know the dimensions of your current shocks?

flat fenders will give you more room for articulation then a lift will. As stated before your shock set up will have more of an affect on maxing out your suspension travel.
