Just installed 37" MTZs mounted on Pro Comps new 5129 wheels with Bushwacker flat flares.

Currently undriveable. I had to order rear upper and lower control arms to move my rear axle back an inch. Even with trimming the pinch seam, I get a rub on bumps. It should all be fixed up on Saturday.

What did you do with the 35s? Are they still in good shape? Hook a brother up

Looks great by the way!!!!

simon

Thanks!
This is what I did with the 35s: Tires & Wheels

I'm thinking of moving to 37's. Do you think I would need rear control arms as well? I'm running a 4" rough country lift.

I got 18" rims :(

Not necessarily. I have a 3.5" lift, but only some people that have the same size lift had to move their axle back. Not sure why.
At full articulation, you can measure the distance from your current tires to the closest part of the wheel well. Then, subtract 37 from your current tire size and divide by 2. If this number is smaller than the distance number, you'll be ok.

eg. If the distance is 2" and your current wheel size is 35", then... 37-35=2/2=1
1 is smaller than 2. You'll be ok.

Had 37s on my old Sahara with 4 " Rancho long arm suspension now I got a rubicon with 4" Skyjacker lift and 315/70R17s when they got low I was gonna go back to 37s.....Now I'm not sure..... How much were the control arms?

Looks like I'm gonna bring some measuring tape with me next time I flex

I am glad I got the 37s -- you get more clearance and they're just plain cool! I would get them if I were you.
The uppers and lowers for the rear were about $500, which isn't too bad.

O that's not bad at all! What kind did u get? I just got off the phone with skyjacker and they gave me the p/n for both front and rear control arms.... Did u get fronts too or no? Quadratec has front AND rear skyjacker arms for $400!!! I'm ordering tonight!
