Ok, so i got me a set of JKUR X springs and shocks, they say 19/60 on the tags, which i was not expecting.. i was thinking they were 18/60 but 19/60s was a nice surprise. Currently on my 14 Rubi i have 14/56s, so i'm hoping for about 2 inches. If i don't get the 2 inches i'm gonna run these spacers. Old Man Emu 10mm Rear Trim Spacer for 07-16 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK | Quadratec Old Man Emu 10mm Front Trim Spacer for 07-17 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK | Quadratec , which are 10mm or .39 inches. Here is my question because this is my first time building a JK, and it gets wheeled at least twice a month.... its not gonna be a pavement princess lol. Also i'm gonna be running 37s and 4.88s.. just fyi. What else do you guys think i will need to upgrade for a 2 inch lift? Brake lines, track bars, Control Arms, I'm just really not sure what is necessary for just a 2 inch lift. Or what is recommended? I gonna end up upgrading most things anyway, but what do you guys think is absolutely necessary?

Also i know about the clearance issues, the fenders are either getting cut or replaced.. probably cut for now.

 

For 37s you need to runs flat fenders and trim the tub pinch seam in the rear. If you still have factory rear bumper you will need to trim that as well. Just adding bigger springs with no other brackets is not enough. You should at least add a rear trackbar relocation bracket and bumpstops.

 

Well, I did the spring swap and got almost 2 inches but then loaded my rig back down with steel and protection. At most I could run 33's right now with my current setup(no trimmed fenders, etc.) I am just wondering if perhaps it wouldn't be better for you to get a complete and proper 2-2.5 inch lift for your planned 37's and sell those springs you just got.......

 

Really? You got a full 2 inches with stock springs and no spacers?

 

Depends what kind of wheeling your going to do. If you rock krawling you will want longer shocks brake lines, control arms would be advised, trackbar and drag link upgrades. Flat fenders. Etc

Stock springs and spacers isn't going to uield u much performance.

And 37" tires on what axles?

Northridge 4x4

 

Stock Dana44s, yeah i'm just trying to get the 37s on and regear to 4.88s. But am wanting to see what all i am going to need for the 2 inch lift. So far i'm thinking extended brake lines, front and rear adjustable track bars, adjustable front lower control arms , front and rear adjustable sway bar links. Not sure what else so far.. that may be it.

 

Yu do not need to trim the tub at all on a 14 or newer. Jeep did that for you. For me to run 37"x13.5 tires and control stock arms all I needed to trim was the factory Rubi rails by 1.5" on the back edge.

 

That depends on the lift and the tires. It will take more then that little pinch seam trim from the factory on a true size 37" tire.

 

I have the Cooper STT Pro 37x13.5-18 and I am no where near it. I believe that the Cooper is on the truer side of 37" tires while the BFG is on the lesser side.

 

Can you stuff the rear tire without hitting? If you can then your tires are on the small size. I couldnt stuff my Pitbulls on 4" lift without rubbing on both the back bumper and the front pinch seam (after the pinch seam was trimmed the first time).
