Thanks for all the comments. I just received my skid plate yesterday, so will mount it and finish my front bumper as well. Will post pics when done.

How do you guys like the Rocker Radials? Did they balance well? I had a set of the bias rockers and they were tough to balance and had death wobble at 25 mph, but off road, they were awesome. Who did you order the Rocker Radials from? Thanks.

Nice jeep. I went with 35's cause everyone was like if you get 33's youll just want 35's...now i got 35's and i just want 37's. sweet jeeps like yours are feeding my "jeep bug"!envy

i have the Rocker Radials. I bought them from Discount Tire and got a great price. I don't think they have the equipment to properly balance tires this large, although they assured me it would be no problem. One tire had to go as high as 16oz.. The steering wheel starts to vibrate between 40mph-45mph. The first time I rotated the tires the vibration went away. I just recently did another rotation where the original fronts are back in front and the vibration is back so I think it has something to do with the balancing.

The tires were not that loud when I first got them, but they definitely hum now that they are broken in (albeit not much worse than my stock Rubicon tires did when they were broken in). I've read on this forum that going to a place where big rigs get their tires serviced is a better bet as far as balancing since they have the proper equipment to do the larger tires. I will try this next time.

I thought I was the only one who pulled in the yard, my Jeep just doesn't like the driveway!

I am thinking about going this direction too. I have a terafelx 3in and 35's right now with no rubbing at full stuff. I plan on going with bushwhacker flat fenders, and from what I have read I will need to extend my bump stops and bend my pinch seem. Is this all, because that doesn't sound to bad.

Do you have any close-up pictures of your pinch seem modifications?

I am on the fence about lift and tires for my Rubicon - Can't decide on whether I want a medium lift and 35's or if I want to try and stuff 37's on.

I want to be able to keep my rig in the garage, so I can only grow about 10" total over stock height. I am impressed that you got your 37's on with only 2.5 lift, All the 4x4 shops here tell me that 35's are the largest you can go with a 4" lift (of course they are in the business of trying to sell you stuff too).

Now my indecison continues
