  • 37's with no lift

    Just got some pics of my jeep with metalcloak fenders and flares running 37's with no lift. Let me know what you think.

    I like the Metalcloak stuff. Looks real nice. I'm betting you'll spend a lot of time rubbing those fenders raw though. Did you loose any turn radius with the 37's? I'm guessing they hit the control arms at full lock.
    Have fun breaking that baby in!

          I have a Dana 60 in the rear, and the dana 30 is being replaced with a dana 44 in the next week or to when ever it comes in. Thanks on Fenders

            I'd bet that D30 may last longer than you think. I beat the Hell out of mine with 35's and locker for 4 years at JV and have turned it over to Mike who is now beating the Hell out if it in his jeep on 35s. Pretty tough axle if done right. But I would feel lots better with a 60/44, or even better two 609s...

                    I like the low center of gravity. 37's and no lift is awesome.

                    How is the flex on the stock suspension? Are you planning on do'n anything to improve your flex? Can you go long arm w/no lift? Or just better control arms, enough?

                    Looks great.
                    It was like that when I got here.

                      only thing stock under there are the springs I run RE control arms all the way around, Front Pro comp shocks for a 4" Lift, and rear RE shocks for a 3 1/2" Lift. So far this set up works great I will see when I do John Bull in the Spring

                        I see your running the stock wheels and assume your using wheel spacers to get the backspace you needed... if so, How are those working out? What size spacer did you use? Are you having any issues?

                        I'm getting ready to lift the wife's 4 door JK, 4 inches and I plan to keep the stock wheels and run 35's on them. Any advise would help!

                        Nice Jeep BTW! Those fenders are rockin!

                          These are jk wheels that I have two sets up for the extra width. There ok worries cuase of the 2 sets tho. with a 4" lift about a 1.5" to 2" spacer would be good.

                            John Bull??? Don't you mean the Hammers??? John Bull on 37's, why not just cruise the mall parking lot and drive over the wheel stop things for the same effect
                            That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

                              Ok, thanks for the info! She has the same wheels and I had ordered a set of 1.5" spacers already..... Just wanted to make sure that was going to be good enough!
