What if you beefed up to the 4" HD coils on that same short arm ultimate lift, Eddie? You think it would clear with the 4" coils and no body lift or spacer?

One thing that I personally would like to bring to your attention is the rock rails. I know that mine stick into the wheel well a small amount with my rubi. Idk about yours. So one thing that may make or break this idea is ur willingness to trim some things and maybe cut a little bit. I had 35s on stock for 3 days and it was rough. Would not wish it on my worst enemy. But moving from that start thinking about those little things.

Personally I have a teraflex 4" (more like 5")lift w/ a 1" bodylift and do get front fender rubbing. Running 37's.
There is a prob though. I didnt have any rubbing until I added a full set of skid plates underneath. Im not going to say its purely weight related, because, there is a potential for spring sag, but thats when it happened. Ultimately id like to remove my bl, move to a 4" full traction long arm and rraider fenders.
No matter what you really cant "figure out" what will or will not work unless you can find someone w/ an identical setup. and by identical you should figure:
Lift
Tires
Fenders
Front & rear bumpers
Winch(and winch line...length and material)
Skid plates(brand/weight)
Sliders(brand weight)
Plus any additional weight that is carried on a day to day basis and weight that is offroad specific.
Also consider that skid and slider weights willbe less on a 2dr than a 4dr.
It is alot to think about but w/ almost all modded jeeps being unique..every situation and build becomes unique as well.
No matter what you decide remember you can always upgrade and sell off the old in 4sale to offset new purchases.
