Default Will 37's fit?????????

Not sure if this is really feasible but I saw burnsville offroad do it on one of their JKs. I'm putting on a Teraflex 2.5" BB, 1" MORE body lift, and 1.5" wheel spacers. I know 35x12.5s will fit fine. But will 37x13.5s fit? BS with the rims I am getting will end up with a total of 3.5, and I'm prepared to get some different fenders and do some trimming of the front bumper if need be. Think it will work? Or will I have rubbing issues?

They will rub if you flex it.

If you throw some high clearance tube fenders on there and cut open the rear wheel well some more then yeah it will work most likely. Probably take some work, but it's definitely doable. IGOFISHN is right that it wont have a lot of articulation. Just make sure to bump stop it correctly so you don't break something.

My vote is the rear tires will rub bad.

I'm pretty sure that Rev111 is running their 2-door Rubicon with 37's and just a 2" lift now. But then, they are running a stubby bumper up front, nothing in the rear and have their high clearance tube bumpers on as well...

Of course, the benefit of a setup like this is that you get more ground clearance and get to keep your center of gravity low.

That is why I am waiting on their fenders. 37's will work with just a 2.5 lift. Their tj runs 35's with a BB. It is the high clearance fenders that are the reason.
