Aight folks,
I bought my 37" tires for my ride and they will be here Monday. This is my current set up on my '12 JK 2 door. 3.5 metal cloak, bushwhacker flats, added rear adjustable end links, and cut back the rear pinch seems and rock rails. Am I forgetting anything important?
'12 JK, 3.5 metal cloak, Miami Hurricane stuck in Baltimore....

Whats your wheel backspacing like? you may rub your control arms during turns, I've been dealing with that for the last 2 years haha. Also, don't wait to trim your pinch seams, I did because it was usually just me in the vehicle. But over big bumps etc its such a nasty sound when it hits. Its not going to puncture the tire our anything but, its the worst sound ever.

I run 37" Km2’s and I think they're just undersized enough that I didn't have too trim much - just the rubi rail. (Pinch seam is already trimmed on a '14). I'm running 2" bump stops, 3.5" back spacing, and I only rub on my rear stock bumper.

i have a 3 1/2 inch rustys with a 2 inch budget on top. factory rubicon wheels with 37*12.50s. no rubbing anywhere except full turn lock and in a twist on the front arms. trim the factory slider as well. not sure what it is about this set up but it rides better than my other 4 doors have with a 35 and just the 3 1/2 lift.

Unscrew your steering stops and add however many washers u need to keep it from hitting. It doesn't hurt turning.radius to much either. No more rubble on the control.arms.

As stated before. Wheel BS could be an issue but u have plenty of lift. I run 3.5" RK X FACTOR w/ trimmed fenders and 3" bump stops and don't have any rubbing issues (JKUR) currently running trail grapplers and previously ran GY MTRK's.
