Debating 2.5 vs 3.5 lift height, set on going 37s once my 35s wear out. I'll probably stick with 2.5 since I need less parts although I'm considering a drag link flip. I could fit 37s on my current leveling kit setup, just wouldn't have any flex due to the bump stops needed and stock shocks.

So.... You're thinking about getting an inch more lift that requires buying a DL flip, all so you can lose 1.5" of travel? Hmm....

I think that works so long as you run dual steering stabilizers up front.

Not to mention probably a new driveshaft up front also eventually.

Frame notch FTW

Just Curious, how is he going to be losing 1.5" of travel by going to a 3.5 inch lift if he plans to run 37" tires? Is it purely because of the flip kit requiring 3" bump stops? There's going to be some sheet metal cutting going on in order to run 37s with a 2.5.

The flip kit hits the frame. You either lose 1.5" of up travel, or notch the frame.

Contrary to popular belief, coil height has nothing to do with travel. The 2.5" coils have the same travel as the 3.5". Same shocks, which is the limiting factor. I was running 14" travel shocks on the 2.5" coils. Worked great.

So are you running a 2.5" lift with 37s & 1.5"bump stop with no rubbing?

Invest2m4

Technically 2" of bump with no rubbing. I could go 1.5", but I'm too lazy to cut a puck in half.

I'm running 3.5" backspace wheels and the MetalCloak Overline fenders (lots more clearance than typical flat fenders.

I wanna say flexer07 on here is running 37s on a 1.5" RK lift with flat fenders with little to no issues.

Nice! Well I guess the weight of a 4 door makes a difference. I run 3" bumps with 37s &3.5 lift with a little rub in the rear. Granted I don't have 3.5" of back spacing. Wish they had the Overland finders out when I got my PS fenders they look badass!
