Default Rugged Ridge XHD Storage Ends with oversized tires

I'd like to know how well the Rugged Ridge XHD Storage Ends work with oversized tires?

My jeep is currently sporting 4" of lift up front with 35" BFG KM2's (planning on upgrading to 37's eventually) and I'm thing of adding the storage ends to my XHD front as long as my tires won't be rubbing any time I disconnect my front sway bar off road.

Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.

I never had an issue with mine at 4" and 35's, plenty of clearance.

I'm running 37 Mud Grapplers and a 4 inch lift and I had issues with full flex when sway bar was disconnected. I didn't have the storage ends but i had the regular end caps. I ended up taking them off because my tread would get stuck on the end caps when flex took place.

Was that before or after the redesign of the ends?

Gotta be after. I was rubbing the original ends with a 4" lift and 32" actual height tires.
