Default Help on upgrades.

I have been searching and have found a few answers but im still lost on some things. I have a 2 dr rubi auto. It has a 2.5" spacers at the front 2" at the back. I am purchasing 17 x 9 rims next week. I will put my current stock bfgs on them for now. I want to run 37s because that is my long term goal. I know i will need c gussets. Im thinking evo's. I will be ordering a new winch bumper and eventually a rear bumper. My question is what all else will i need to run 37s. I know i will need some reprogaming. What will i need. Thanks in advance.

I was shocked at how quickly i wanted to re-gear after putting 33's on my sport. Def research that before pulling the trigger.

Search around , there are tons on threads on running 37s. Biggest things will be beefing up the axles, re-gearing, trimming. Then you're going to need a good tire carrier for the spare.

you should consider looking at our EVO enforcer kit! It has a very soft spring rate and is perfect for 37's with after market bumpers
