Question? Lift and Tires
i am thinking of adding a 4in lift (Skyjacker 4" Standard Lift Kits)(as seen at quadratec.com) and putting 37x13.50R17LT Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial Tire (as seen at quadratec.com) on Pro Comp Series 1028 Polished 5 Spoke Simulated Bead Lock Wheel, 17x9.5 (as seen at 4wd.com)
so will all this work togather?
will the tire and width fit on the rim?
if yes, with the tire/rim combo fit on my jk with the 4in life?
overall, give me your opinon...

one more thing, nitro vs hydro shocks?
what is the dif and is it worth it to go nitro?

In Arizona we have a state law that says if you use your Jeep for less than 50% of the time doing "heavy" 4 wheel driving then DC must honor their Warrenties. Even tho DC has disclaimers stating that such use will void them out.
However they do have the right to limit the LIFT size and do so at 3".
So if you go over 3" in Arizona anyway you can void your drive train warrenty etc.
I'm not sure about how this plays out elsewhere but its worth investigating.
I run a 3" TF lift on a 2dr with 35" tires and could run 37" with no issues.
The pitch angle between the drive shaft and transfer case is really as far as I want to go already, I can't even imagine how sharp that would be at 4" or 6". Early joint or transfer case failure seems likely as that angle increases.
But to me all your choices look pretty good, just keep in mind that business about warrenty etc.
Enjoy your JEEP whatever you decide. You'll love it!
