Wish I could make it up there tonight. Unfortunately the wifey made other plans that I can not get out of. Worked on the Jeep this morning and thought I would share the results. I am sure what I am doing is not to everyone's taste, but I kinda like it. Added Sahara flares painted the matching Orange Crush as well as the front bumper cover. I also installed the stubby front kit as well. Really like the way it looks now with the white top and all orange body.

Default 37s

So I just picked up a set of KM2 37s for the JK... and I am experiencing some real anxiety about putting them on... From all of the threads I have read... they should fit fine.

The jeep already has:
4" lift
Bushwacker flat fenders
Bump stops
5.13 gears (auto)

I'm stressing out over things like pinch seam... cut or fold?

Turning Radius... do I need to adjust the stops?

Bump stops... how do you adjust those? Flex it and see what rubs?

Any advice to soothe my nerves would be appreciated!!

I have 4 inch rancho lift 37 (km2) and trimmed factory fenders i have dana 30 with 5.13 gears, truss, sleeves, gussets, control arms skids, and aussie locker. I got teraflex adjustable control arms which allowed caster adjustment for flighty steering at speed and also i could move rear suspension back so only minor pinch seam cutting was needed.
No steering stops needed and bump stops
Should be fun depending on back space of rim and articulation. I ended up putting 3/4 inch spacer on top of coil for insurance on extra flex!
