Default 4' superlift with 37s

Hello all, im new to the jk world. I have a 2dr 07 sahara that i wanna do a 4' superlift with some 37' km2's. I would like to hear from anyone running the same set up. From what i understand there is some modification involved with getting the 37's to fit properly Thanx.

remember the km2s run about an inch smaller then advertised and your most defiantly going to need to trim the pinch seam

From a guy who owns the Superlift 4". Don't waste your money. The ride is unbearably rough on the road. Look at teraflex. And your 37's will fit fine with a 4" lift. As said above, a little trimming will be required inside the rear wheelwell on the leading edge.

I changed my Superlift to a 4in Teraflex, if that tells you anything. The rear sagged really bad with weight on it. I added a 1 3/4 in spacer to it so I wasn't riding nose up when loaded. The front trackbar that comes with the kit is not the greatest either.

Yep. We have a 4" Teraflex with 37" KM2's on our JK and had to trim the pinch seams. We still have stock fenders (sigh) and also trimmed out a piece of the rear inner fender wells. Now there is no rubbing.

Consider the $$ you save by getting a better kit the first time.
1st lift- RE BB
2nd lift-4in Superlift
Now-Teraflex 4in- I'm happy now( for awhile anyway, haha)Prolly go longarm in a year or two when the jk is paid off.

not to highjack the thread, but KM2s run 1" smaller than advertised? I was gonna run 35s...so they are basically 34s by all other manufacturers' standards? Thanks.

my km2 35's ran 33 inches aired up. i have a 9.5 wide wheel though. km2's run small.

i am running 37 pitbull rockers on a 2.5" ome lt lift. it is not all about hight it is about the bump stops and lcg.
