Can any with a four door on 37s please post some pictures. I'm about to lift mine and an torn between 35s and 37s. I wanna go 37s. Thanks guys.
If you are thinking about 37s you should get 37s. Even if it means you have I wait longer to get them...
You guys rock! Thank you. I thought that the jk swallowed 35s as well and I know when I do this I wanna do it right. Y'all have suggestions on lift sizes/ brands to accommodate the 37s and I'd like to keep the factory fenders. I'm gonna need new drive shafts and was gonna go with 5:13 gears. Thoughts?

The yellow one Gcm2 has pictured is the look I'm after, which shocks did you use since I've heard bad things about teraflex shocks?
your pry gonna have to go with at least a 4" lift if your wanting to keep the factory flares... a friend of mine has 4.5 AEV lift with the same 37's i have and had no problems clearing everything... I cut mine with a 3.5 in lift just because i wanted to keep a LCG.:beer:
I started with 35" tires and went to 37" tires. Go with 37" if you are already thinking about it.Can any with a four door on 37s please post some pictures. I'm about to lift mine and an torn between 35s and 37s. I wanna go 37s. Thanks guys.

I have about 3" of lift from my 2.5" AEV, but don't want to add more lift or change driveshafts. I have C-gussets and I know trimming the fenders is necessary at minimum. Is it possible??

Here is an early picture of my Jeep with factory fenders, 3.5" Rock Krawler Mid Arm lift and 35" tires.

I'm running 37" Toyo's with 4.56 gears in San Antonio. I see you are in Austin where there are a few more hills, so I'd consider 4.88 gears at the most. I think 5.13 gears are overkill for the 3.6 motor and the 5 speed auto unless you live in Colorado or someplace else where elevation kills your horsepower.
If you want to keep the factory fenders, you can probably get away with a 4" lift.
I am running a 4.5" equivalent lift that is a hybrid EVO Double Throwdown in front with Evolever Double Throwdown and King Air bumps in back and a Rock Krawler 3-link long arm.
Here are a couple of shots that I just took of it setting in front of my house.

Do you have the 12" or 14" king coilovers? I'm doing it next year
The EVO setup uses the 12" King coilovers, but the EVO brackets angle to provide about 14" of travel. You won't be able to get a 14" coilover on your JK unless you cut into the engine compartment and make significant modifications or lift your JK to about 6" or 7" high.
I had my Jeep in for tire rotation the other day and took this picture when it was on the lift. You can see with the tires barely off the ground that there is a significant amount of travel.

The double throwdown you can get it with 12" or 14" kings the guys with 40" tires have the 14" shocks unless your talking about the Bolt on coilovers that's only the 12" shocks
