Default AEV 3.5 Lift On 2Door---37KM2s?

I have done my searching and can't find anything addressing this specifically. Can I fit 37" KM2s under a 2 Door with the AEV 3.5 Kit. I know the KM2s run small and am worried that if I go with the 35s, Ill really only be getting 33s.

Cut the pinch seam or cut the fenders or buy flat fenders.

I run the AEV 4.5" lift with 37" KM2's. I think it might be a bit stuffed with a 3.5" lift.

I have bfg km2 35x12.5x17 on a 2.5 bb and it clears fine. I'd go 37 for a 3.5

I have a 2 door with the AEV 3.5" and am running 35" KM2's.

I believe it can be done since 35" KM2's only measure out to be 33.5". I'd be VERY surprised if 37's didn't fit, especially after modding the flares and pinch seam. I'm no expert, but I truly believe 37" KM2's would fit even without any further mods. I regret going with 35's and not 37's...

If I'm not mistaken, a 3.5" lift on the 2 door is going to sit a little higher than a 3.5" on a 4 door with the AEV lift. So wouldn't a 2 door with a 3.5" AEV and a 4 door with a 4.5" sit the same then? Assuming same tire sizes that is...

I'm thinking about just ordering the both sets and see if it will go. If the aev kit is built to run a true 35 I think it should work
