Yeah, so ive pretty much decided its time to start saving up to upgrade from my 35's.

On a 2dr X Ive currently got a teraflex 2.5" lift with 35's on stock rims and 1.5" wheel spacers. Ive already got a new tire carrier so thats not a problem
Heres what I plan to do.

-Upgrade to 5:13's front and back
-New front driveshaft
-Beef up the front Dana 30 with c-gussets and chromoly axle shafts
-The 37's (still deciding which ones


The question I have is what lift to go with. Im planning on a teraflex long arm but dont know whether to go with a 3" or 4". I like that actual height of the jeeps Ive seen running the 3" lift better but dont know if a 37 will fit without rubbing. Any input on this, or anything else I may have missed, would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you, when time comes time Ill ask him a few more questions

 

love my 3in Black Diamond...
measures out a little over 4" in the end.
36s are no problem with trimming., 37s would be the same i think.

 

what kind of trimming are we talking? I know the pinch seem but what else? I think my aftermarket sliders should clear but ill double check

 

fenders, air dam if you still have it, possibly the backside of the stock bumper....the rest would depend on offset/backspacing.

 

Do you wheel the JK?

Are you going to lock the D30?

 

Yes I wheel it. . .a lot, and no I wont be locking the d30

As for the trimming, good to know since Ill probably be making a new set of most of that stuff soon, Ill factor all of that into the decisions

 

Just making sure. Once you lock the D30 on 37s and 5.13...good luck.

I think you'll only need to bend the pinch seam in. At 4.5", you have ample room for 37s.

 

I thought the teraflex 3" LA only gave 4 inches though, not 4.5

 

d30 running 5.13s and 37s, might want to rethink your think. a 4.88 ratio may be less abusive, but either way, the d30 needs a lot of reinforcement to work with 37s if you plan to wheel. I'm talking gussets, inner and outer sleeves at the very least. And don't really plan on a locker at any point with 5.13s and 37s.

I plan on eventually running 37s, but not until i wear out my 35s...and get 4.88s, diff covers, C gussets, inner and outer sleeves, a Super 30 kit which upgrades the 27 spline to 30 spline, and an ARB locker... Should be good for what I do...I'm still debating whether or not I want the lockers or not
