I repeat... No shop in my town would do it.
Ever try hauling four 37s in a 2 door? Too late anyway. Already committed.

They don’t fit into a 4 door either. I tried. Had to borrow a buddy’s truck.

Lol. Yeah, I don't even have tall enough jack stands to take all the tires off if I wanted to. Not having the right tools or having shitty tools make jobs like this exponentially worse.

Ah, I didn’t think about them not mounting used ones, that’s a bummer

Are those the 37s mounted with the spacers?
Looks like you have plenty of clearance for those things

Those are Bushwacker flares right? Whatever they are I dig them and your tires too! I was kinda thinking about those cheap ass Smitty bilt steel ones to try for giggles. I flexed mine out and I get no rubbing at all with stock flares. It would give me a reason for 37's tho! Lol!!!

Yes. I'm gonna have to convert my bumper to a stubby, but it looks like nothing else will rub in the front.

Thanks. They're Bushwacker knockoffs... I'll eventually go to Poison Spyder metal flares, but these work for now and they don't look half bad.
You need a reason for 37s?

Fuck, what a weekend. My work van ended up sucking most of my time but I was able to finish all the work in the front of the Jeep. Two more tires to mount for the rear and then trimming is left.
Side note: any one here in SoCal interested in cutting down my front bumper and welding some end caps on to make it a stubby?

Two things... First, after the last one I'll be a pro at swapping tires by hand. Second, I never want to swap tires by hand ever again!
