Default 37" tires on only 3" lift?

Is anyone running 37" tires with just a 3" lift? If so, Did you have to run spacers, change gears, Change drive lines?

Trying to decide between 35" or 37"?

Thanks,

Dave

It depends if you do alot of wheeling. 37's tend to break stock parts, and if you wheel you will need a 1 inch body lift and/ or trimmed fenders to avoid rubbing while flexed. I also would get shorter gears ex. 4.88 or 5.13 and be ready to replace the front driveshaft.

Those springs look a lot longer than mine with a 2.5" coil rough country lift.

2 door or 4 door? On my Jk, I run 37's with 3.5 Rock Krawler lift. Trimmed the pinch seam, and is great. I would think with Flat Fenders and 3 inch lift, it would work if your not playing in the Rocks.

And for sure your driveline. My rear DS went first, and the front couple weeks later. Gears will most likel need to be done, depending on what ya have now.

Make sure your lift has adjustable rear upper arms. A must with new shaft(just learned that)
