Congrats on tires! In terms of pinch seam, here is what I did. No rubbing. Same tires. 3.5" lift. Just did the JB Weld on it today. Picking up color match paint from dealer tomorrow. Also took half inch off the corner in the rear.

Awesome, thanks for the pic, will give me a good idea where to start, I'm excited about the tires. Did you just use the JB weld to fill everything back in that you needed and smooth it all out?

Congrats Ben. I went a bit more extreme with my cuts than GraniteCrystal [emoji15] I tend to over-do stuff. Got into the body filler/insulation and had to seal her up with a bit of RTV [emoji23]

I did mine with a dull hacksaw. Took like 45 min but you should see my triceps.
Seriously, use a sawzall or put a new blade on hacksaw. It was too tight to get my dremel in there.
I would see if you need to trim first. Welcome to the 37" crew!!! You won't be sorry

I'm excited to be there! I guess I just thought it's what you had to do, but I will be running Slabs with 3.5 back spacing plus about another inch spacer for the bolt pattern to line up so I'll be fairly wide and beefy. Maybe I won't need to

I didn't have to trim. But then I probably am running a bit higher( adjusted coilovers) in the rear.

I have to 4" enforcer and am tossing the idea around with putting a spacer in the rear as the corner/tire carrier combo, this wheel/tire, and anything i add is staring to get pretty heavy but I'll cycle the suspension and see where I'm at first

Getting there. Got the PR installed. The rear gear install kit was missing a carrier bearing so I have to get in touch with Dynatrac in the morning. Hopefully this week I can have her all buttoned up.

So where did toy scoop up those STT Pros in a 37x13.50 at? I'm in the market for some and I know that discount tire doesn't have any.
And if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for them?
Should be a pretty nice stance with the slabs, spacers, and the 13.50s. Looking forward to seeing it! [emoji109]

Oh man, sucks they are out of stock! I got them through discount tire direct, but they are 20" wheels so maybe that's the difference in their stock- I paid 378 a tire plus the certificate and whatever else fee wise, free shipping..I too think it will be a nice stance, jeep will be a toy only here in a couple weeks too, so it'll all be good!
