How do the KO2s handle on the Rubicon wheels? I have the same wheels and didn't think they could handle 37s. If that is the case, I may need to adjust my game plan a little.
The wheels handle the 12.50 wide KO2s just fine. No issues at all. You will have to chalk the tires to find a good running pressure. I am at 29 right now.

Thanks! I started with with the ACE cube bracket risers, then had my buddy throw them on his lathe and open them up to 8mm, then a couple universal L brackets from the Auto parts store, and painted everything black to match.
Sounds complicated. LOL I was hoping for an off-the-shelf side mounted bracket. KC made a light mount bracket for the JK that was great. I had a set on my JKU. Put the spot lights up high enough over the hood and outboard enough to not impede your view over the hood. Oh well, I'm sure someone will develop a similar set for the JL. In the meantime, great ingenuity on your part!!

Considering doing this or just doing a twin ARB and just going tire to tire.

Is it worth it?
Well it was to me cuz I want to ensure that all my tires are exactly balanced in terms of PSI. Had problems with that on my last Wrangler and blew through two sets of tires before I figured out my valve stems were the issue. This system lets me balanced the pressure with relative precision and yeah that's worth it to me. For others maybe not. The Up Down Air System wasn't that expensive. it was the labor to install it that was the killer. I'm just trying not to look at that part ha ha.

First car wash today. No leaks in the hardtop. Had it four weeks now.
Seriously? 4 weeks without a car wash? My car wash has a special offer, brush free, full package, $40 a month unlimited washes. I run through every day that it's not raining ☔

They work great. Here they are in action. I added Spidertrax WHS024 1-3/4" Wheel Spacers on them also. I will eventually change these out early next year for some beadlocks.

Is that true? I just installed 37's and I have yet to recalibrate and my mpg's dropped 4mpg which I was super bummed about.
Yup, if you went from 33s to 37s, multiply your MPG x 1.12 to get your actual MPG. You still see a decrease, but less than what you thought it was.

That is the first time I have seen a white Jeep with a black grille that I liked enough to consider going with that option for my yellowing grille.

Great job!

37 is what I am running and they are great. Actually better than the 35" KO2 the 37" are load range C vs the E for the 35's . No problem with width same as stock Rubicon.
Edit.. I added a picture fully stuffed I think the stock offset keeps it under the finder without sticking out and and hitting the finder also 2.5 RC spacer lift

Actually, when I washed it, it was raining. And I usually wash my vehicles about twice a year.
