Default 4inch lift ordered whats mods to fit 37s

Alrighty guys I just order the basic 4inch superlift from 4wd.com. They have an instant rebate on it right now. So my question is for you guys running 37s what mods to the body have to be done to fit 37s. I have heard of trimming the rocker guards and what not but i dont have anything like that on my X unlimited. And what about spacing the bumper. I cant exactly say what my backspacing is but on my 33\12.5\15R i have a good 2.5 to 3 inches of tire sticking out past the fenders now.

Ditch the plastic front bumper, and trim the corner of the body that hangs down into the rear wheel-well (the front edge where the rocker guard would be). If you have Mopar or Rubicon rocker guards, you will need to trim those too. You need to cut at about a 45 deg angle, lopping off a small right triangle with about 1.5" sides. That will do the trick.

I have some pics at the shop when we did it. I'll try to find them tomorrow.

Shameless plug.... Our rock sliders don't need any trimming.

For street driving you will not need a new driveshaft, but when you start articulating on obstacles you will need a new front. There are quite a few people around with the 4" superlift and so far people have had no complaints except the extremely minor triming around the rockers to fit 37s. It is a great lift for the money however cam bolts are not as great as adjustable control arms such as those found on the Tera 4" system.
