I am currently running 37"s on a 3.5 Gamechanger with 4" of bumpstop and Bushwacker flats The Metalcloak website claims that with their highline fenders, the ability to drop to 3" of bumpstop with 37s or 40s with 4" of bumpstop. Has anyone gone from Bushwackers (or similar flat) to the highline Metalcloaks? Is it really that big a difference in clearance? Thanks

 

Bump bump

 

It already looks like you have too much bumpstop. Check how much bump you actually need to keep your tires off the flares and go from there. Did you actually measure for bumps or just go by what they suggest?

 

I ran the game changer and Overlines with 37s. I ran 2" of bump stop all around.

The front is a huge difference in clearance. You gain a solid 2" of uptravel. The rear is better than a flat, but with some trimming you could probably get close to 2" of bump with a regular flat fender.

Based on your rig and mods, I'll assume you wheel. Get the Overlines. They'll save you money in the long run since you won't rip the cheap crap plastic fenders off or damage the body when you run into something.

 

Here's a couple pics from last year (one per post since the app blows up every time I try and post two).

 

 

There's almost no articulation of the rear axle, I'd address that first.

 

Thanks for the replies!!! I think I'm going to transition over to the highlines.

The pictures I posted were not the maximums that the Jeep can articulate, I was simply testing brake line lengths and other things right after installing the lift. They were just the only pics I had for reference.

 

If you want to get rid of the BW let me know. I may take them off your hands. Thx

Unless you stuck something there, to prevent the axle from moving, how comes the left rear wheel is lifted in the air and the rear axle is still parallel to the body ?
