Had a good time running Sunflower Mine on Black Friday.... Never done that run before - and really liked it. Navigating was a little tricky, but found our way. Need some help now though... Had a front shock blow up. Looks like it was hit with something HARD that creased the can, and caused the thing to rip apart.. I'd like to replace with something better than what I had... but eventually want to get to 37 too... How much lift is required to run 37s? I currently have a 4" lift with 35s. Are they going to be the same shock/length? Any advice would be appreciated!!
Highly recomend them to anyone!

On a 2dr 4" is enough for 37" tires, I think you need 6" on a 4dr.
I have a 3" tera flex w/35" tires and want to go to 37s even with my fenders trimmed I think a 4" lift is needed, (it's going to be real close) If you call the Tera Flex crew they will help you out with the proper specifications.(ask for Joe or Dennis)

I have a 3" teraflex long arm lift it gave me 5 1/2 " of lift 2 door soft top stock bumpers works great ... TERAFLEX is the way to go ....
very strong arms I used 5- 6 longer bilstein shocks so all I have to do is change springs if I want more lift...

Thanks for all the help guys... I also have a SkyJacker lift... and wished it was a Tera lift. It was on jeep when I bought it as well - so... I'm stuck with it unless I hit the lottery. Hate the tires I have too... ProComps... I would never own those - but again too expensive just to throw away... So El Chingon... I think we have the same lift - but maybe different springs? I will call SkyJacker tomorrow... Maybe I just need to change the springs...

That is possible with the springs. As for tires I have BFG KM2's - extremly pleased with the traction and wear... Have you had any bushing problems at the heim joints with your Sky Jacker yet?
You may want to order a full bushing kit just in case... $110 bucks for insurance.

Thanks Robert , yes on the way to the cave swaybars hook up 2 wheel drive when we left the cave unhooked swaybar used 4 wheeldrive . It stayed more level coming back out. I was very pleased with the lift and long arms can't wait to get rock sliders built to do some rock crawling with it. And remember I will help you with any welding you need even if its to build or modify new parts. bumpers or axles or what ever . That goes for all the ( Phoenix JK'ers )

Now you tell me... I just had Cop 4x4 sleeve and guset mine today. They did a great job though... In addition, they took care of my Bump stop issue.. All is good...
I also picked up a 15lbs Airtank while i was there - Merry Christmas to me!!!
