Depends on Tire size and how much you want them to stick out. I am running 3.75 on My 4 door with 37's

If you're planning on that much tire, id definately suggest going with the 3.75. At 4.5 id rub swaybar and frame when flexing. I went with spyderlocks 2nd time around for 3.5 bs with my current setup.

im not a fan of tires sticking way out past the fenders.some guys like running there rigs with widths wider than most full size trucks but to me a jeep should have as narrow as a track width as possible.i run my walkers with 4.25 inches of backspacing on 37x13.5 toyos.it works well but during adjustment at full compression with the steering at full lock i did have to adjust the steering stops a little bit.i also run custom 44/60 hybrid axles and although i tried to keep them as close to stock width as possible they may be just a little wider than stock,but not much.if you were to run a 37x12.5 tire instead then you would clear no problem and most likely not have to adjust your steering stops at all.
