Default PIC REQUEST: 37"s with BB

I am looking for pics of rigs with any sort of BB combination, be it flat fenders, bodylifts, body trimming, or all of the above that is riding on 37"s. I have heard that it can be done but have yet to see it. I prefer 2 dr pics but will take what i can get. Thanks

to each his own, but why would you get all budget boost products only to spend the money you saved on big tires. you could have a suspension lift with smaller rubber for the same price. i am not knocking you just wondering why you would want to stuff a big tire under a small lift.

Here are a couple shots of Contenderv07's JK. It was built by my local shop. Has a 2 in BB and Xenon flat fenders. He went back down to 35's I believe, but this is what it would look like.

Lower cg makes for safer wheeling.

thanks for the info everyone. i just wanted to see what it looked like and why there are not many doing it. It just seems that for minimal expense you can run some pretty large tires. For example: no driveshafts, expensive 4" lift, etc. also the added advantage of a low center of gravity. i understand the advantages of a bigger lift but for those of us already running a BB it seems so easy to upgrade to 37"s and still maintain a daily driver. for that matter you could keep a set of 33/35s around for work, trips etc. just my 2c

So just to confirm these pics are with 37" tires. Its just hard to tell with the angles the way they are. I would love to see more pics if you have them. Also, what were his reasons for switching back to 35" and what issues did he have with 37"s. Thanks alot

Thats true because you wouldn't be capable of doing more difficult trails. You will lose flex and articulation. Good luck with that.
