So this confirms the rocker knockers come unpainted. That's fine with me, most heavy items like this get bitched up in shipping anyway. Actually that's good thinking and savings passed to the consumer.

We just installed this lift on a buddy's rubi and the first words out of his mouth were "shoulda gone with 37s" lol.

To me it looks great. But with flatties I'm sure 37 may look more proportionate. My psc flares absolutely swallowed my 35s!! I say get what ya want cause you're stuck with em for 30-40k miles

Definitely come unpainted... which is good because of the reasons you stated and you can customize the paint scheme to fit your install! They look great and can be painted or powder coated depending on what you are looking for. I decided to paint them myself so I could easily touch them up if I ever needed to!

My 3" full traction + 35's take me to the height limit to be able to get into mine... Yep.

That is not a concern, as I do not get to park in the garage anyways... LOL... That space is reserved for the wifes suv in the winter, and her camaro ss in the summer... plus our atv's and other odds and ends... My JK is outside... I know, I know, I need to build a larger garage...

Duh!!!! 35s look small already! But that would mean regear and gussets/sleeves! Which I will get to eventually

2 door here, not unlimited, but I'm very happy with the 35's and as mine need replacing, I'm sticking with 35's. I've been able to handle any trail I've tried including the Rubicon Trail 3 times with those 35's, I don't see a need for 37's.
