Default No lift on 37's+. Looking for LCG builds

Wanted a thread for those of us running 37's or greater.
We can discuss issues we've had. How we overcame them, etc...

I believe Planman (forget if he's on this forum or another) has tons of info on LCOG builds. Have you started there?

2012 Black Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Terra Flex 2.5 inch BB, Garvin Expedition rack, JCR Offroad Crusader Series stubby bumper, Engo 9k winch/synthetic, Rigid Industries 10" E-series flood/spot combo, Trail Mods removable flares, Treadwright 315/70R17 on Black Rock Yuma 17x8, Garvin Rock Rails

Here you go, this was no lift and 37" Toyos with Metalcloak fenders. If anyone is thinking of this setup you will want at least 4" BS on your wheels and I would also recommend smaller 37's like the BFG's to help keep the tires from hitting the frame at full steering lock. These tires also just hit the fenders at full stuff and you'll need to trim alot of your pinch seam in the rear.

This has a coil spacer in the front to level it out. The front has 1" extended bumpstops and the rear has 1.5" extended bumpstops. It could use just a little more.

2"+ has been cut off the back of the Rubi sliders.

The wheels have 4" backspacing.

The rear fender well has been significantly trimmed, and needs more.

What do you want to know?

My preference would to use at least 2.5" progressive rate springs to be able to run 11"-12" travel shocks.

LCOG isn't only about big tires with little lift. It also involves control arm geometry and suspension travel.

I want to run 37s on a max of 2.5 lift with 12-14 inches of shock travel just wondering how people are going about it. I'm a fabricator so that isn't an issue just seeing if there are products already available or placement of shocks .
