From 35s to 37s
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.
Before & After:

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

The uppers and lowers for the rear were about $500, which isn't too bad.
