Any 2 door JKs on 40s ?

I doubt they would be wide enough and electronics would be an issue as well if you want the speedo to work. You are going to be looking at an axle with at least 68" WMS

Tires have been received 😁😁😁
My jeep will be for weekend drive and light desert driving
Already have 4.88 gears and prodigy performance turbo 8psi kit on automatic transmission
To do list:
First thing to do is getting new 17" wheels, any recommendations?
2-) Smittybilt XRC Flat fenders, the narrow ones
3-) offroad-evolution tire carrier or any other one
4-) taller bump stops
i am planning to run the tires on minimum lift (right now i have Teraflex 2.5" coil lift plus 1.25" body lift)
I'm gonna need an extended 3.25" bump stops
5-) I have installed on my axles right now :
front axle (dana 30) C gussets and sleeve
And rear axle (dana 44) C gussets
So I decided for now (until something brakes)
A) rear dana 44 inner sleeve
B) Front and rear axles stronger ball joints
C) Outer front and rear ARTEC reinforcements
6-) last thing is that i gonna need to trim the rear pinch seam of my jk to fit the tires

Ok i already mentioned that front axle gonna be temporary until it brakes
What do you recommend for steering ?
And do you think stock brakes are strong enough for 40s ?

As far as steering goes you'll probably want to look at a hydro assist steering. One of the guys running 40's will elaborate on this and I would heed their advice. I have not run 40's and have no first hand experience with them, only second hand.
If you're going to continue a d30/44 set up, I think your 17" wheels will need about 3.25" of back space. I don't know who makes such a wheel but if you dig around enough you should be able to find one.
Edit: what year is your jeep? Auto or manual trans?
