You guys have got me concerned now… I’m installing a 4 in Full Traction Long arm Lift on my 2012 JKUR currently and getting ready to mount up my 37” BFG KM2’s. Initially I had orderd the AEV Pintlers to go on my rig… however the guys at Northridge 4x4 informed me that the pintler/tire combo would scrub the lower control arms . So I opted for a set of 17.9 ATX Artillery’s with 4.5” of backspacing….. Is this going to be enough to clear my control arms? I don’t want to mount them up and find out I still don’t have enough backspacing, and then not be able to return my new rims b/c they had been mounted already.
Can anyone confirm that 4.5” of backspacing in enough clearance for my Full Traction Long Arm lift?? Thanks

I have AEV pintlers and 37 KM2s. Also have adjustable teraflex arms and 12" travel shocks. Tires barely rub frame and swaybar at full lock and stuff. Only way I can tell is because it rubs off some paint.

thanks for the heads up guys. I'll be posting pictures of the new setup soon. Hope to install it in a couple days next weekend. I'm driving it down to my dad's shop in AL so i can utilize his hydraulic lift to make it easier to cut/grind off the factory control arm mounts. then i'll get my 37" KM2's mounted.....I can't wait!
