started on 35s then 2.5” lift with 35s and now 37s. Stock wheels and 1.5” wheel spacers. Haven’t had a chance to flex it but I’m going to bet it rubs just a little but may not be too bad.

Looks badass Kevin. Oh and the 37” spare fits on the factory carrier just fine. Nothing needed.

So for peace of mind the wheel spacers are needed right? Also how does it drive with the 4.10s? This is the exact setup I’m planning on mine when I can, thanks!

No. They’re not needed. You will need to adjust the steering stops a couple turns when stuffed off-road.

It’s great with the 410’s. You will lose some 8th gear in the wind but that’s it.

Spacers for wider track. Drives just fine on 37s. No issues with gears. It’ll handle 40s I’d bet

Hey Kevin. You really can't notice a difference in the acceleration? Trying to decide myself.

Not really. Not anything that I’d be worried about. It runs great! I’d even go 40s and not worry about it. Might be a little sluggish on 40s but it’ll still run 80 no prob

With your 37’s or 35’s that are 12.5 wide did you use wheels spacers on your factory rims? If so, which ones. I’m wondering if they are needed. The dealer is installing the lift and rough country sent me the wrong ones.

What brand wheel spacers are you using?

I think most people go with the 1.5" Spydertrax. I've ran them on my JK and getting them on my JL and they seem to have a good name in the Jeep community. For $200 for a set they better..

I know Rock Krawler ran 40s on stock Rubi axles at EJS this year. Good to know, thanks!

Will keep this in mind, thanks! Might just get them for a slightly wider track, but I haven't found any Spidertrax at 1.5" yet, only 1.75".

Can’t wait to see you run the same trails again. Really is a perfect reflection on how a JLUR will do on the same trail with the various setups. So far the upgrades have been very clearly beneficial, and if the ride is not impacted with the 37s, as noted that’s another plus.

Ordered wheel spacers on extreme terrain website and they said for JL but when dealer tried to install them they didn’t work.

Do not order these spacers from Extreme Terrain. There website needs to be updated and they do not work for the JL.
