No Reason. I liked the look of the full size rear bumper. It's difficult to see in the photos but I have plenty of room in the back. The front, toward the pinch seem was the biggest challenge.

The next upgrade was going to be swapping to 5.38's. When I first drove it with the 37's I could really feel the difference. I used the SuperChips Flashpaq in the highest performance mode (93 Octane) and now I don't feel a big difference from when it was stock. Like I said, it's a daily driver and I drive at least 100 miles per day usually between 70-80mph and it has been fine.

hey man nice rig, but I have to completely disagree with the tire noise, these tires sound like a cessna comming in for landing, you can hear my jeep comming for over 2kms up the street.
Personally I love the loud tires, but all my neighbours have commented on how they can hear me comming for along time before I actually pull in the yard

When I first put the tires on, I had to remove the plastic skid up front as well as cut the plastic off my factory front bumper (to make it a shorty). I also had to do the washer mod to limit my steering a tad bit (very quick 5 min. mod. that WOL has written up on the forum). In the back, I really took time on the pinch seems. Initially, I thought they were good, but found they would rub every time I hit a bump. After bending more of the pinch seem I haven't had any issues on or off road. I haven't been full stuff yet, but judging from what I've done so far, I don't anticipate any problems. Plan-man has some good shots at full stuff with a similar set-up (he's the one who answered all my inquiries) and it doesn't rub. The difference with his is he has a 1" body lift which I didn't do.

I am running radials, you must be running high tire pressure and the lugs are not slapping the pavement. these rockers have a bit of a crown to the tread pattern so fully inflated it runs mostly on the center tread patch.
I am running 25psi and they are wearing nicely across the tread pattern
Mine are for a 15" rim
