Help on Modifying JKU
Question for all:
Am finally going to upgrade my 2015 JKU Willys and thinking of a MC game changer 3.5 lift for 37s, either a MC rear bumper with tire carrier or and ACE rear with swing out carrier, ACE rock rails and either PSC crusher fenders or MC Overland.
Any thoughts/recommendations from those that have already upgraded their jeeps. I have researched a lot and am I in the right ballpark?
It will be a DD with weekend off-road and camping.

Good choice. What shocks you using? Is that the complete MC kit? If you are not Rubicon with 4.10 gears then you may want to look at 4.56 or 4.88 upgrades for 37" tires. Watch out for the money pit scenario such as lockers if you go into the diffs. But a mild weekend wheeler would probably go good with a rear tru-trac.

Thanks Sixty
open to recommendations. I’ve heard Fox shocks are too stiff and can’t see spending for the six packs. Yes it’s a compllete kit per say. Probably add steering stabilizer and down the road upgrade axles. Was told to wait on re-gear and see how it drives first

You cannot go wrong with anything from Metalcloak. They make great products. You are probably aware already that going to 37s entails just a bit more work than 35s. You might just review the lists from myself and Bora Bora in this thread just so there are no surprises lurking around the corner -

The one thing I'd say is you're talking about quality products from Metalcloak and Poison Spyder. If you're going to build this out in that manner, no sense throwing an Ace rear bumper on it. They just aren't in the same class IMO.
