Thanks! They are the smittybilt steel fenders.
I got a great deal on them & they took some getting used to, but I'm definitely digging them now!

Man I am bone stock right now and was thinking of 35s 3.5 lift. After seeing these pics I'm now thinking 37s and 3.5 lift flat fenders.

With 37s I will really need to re-gear... ugggh

If you'd actually like to drive the Jeep then yes. 35's are bearable with the auto but with 37's there's no way to get around it...you're gonna need to regear.

I'll admit I could use a regear, but It honestly hasent been unbearable with the 6 speed manual.

Getting rolling up a hill, from a dead stop, with the transfer case in 2H is a little tricky.

I have to agree. With 35" MT/R Kevlars, it was kinda bearable on flat ground at 65 and under. With 37" MT/R Kevlars, it's horrible. I've dropped from 15.5mpg mix of city/hwy to 13.5 mix. Regear within a week. Ordering the new 5.13 gears from David on Monday.

Hearing first hand experience is the best. Thanks. I have been debating on 35's or 37's. Guess I better plan a regear if I goto 37's.

Sorry just seen this, as of yet I have zero issues with the rear bumper and it functions flawlessly. On the rubbing I have not thoroughly tested at full flex and I have not yet installed the correct bump stop in the front.
