Looks really good! You should find a big rock, stump, or tall curb and check for rubbing when flexed.

Okay okay! This turned out way better than I anticipated! 37”s fit awesome! Exactly what I wanted. There was a small piece they had to cut on the front bumper. So I feel like calling all these places back who told me 37”s wouldn’t fit....pffft. Fit great.

It drives pretty much the exact same as it did before. Drove on the express way and I was cruising along and passing people. The acceleration is good; tires are on the quiet side. The Jeep feels a lil wobbly side to side, but that’s how it felt when I drove it to the shop. The Speedo is off, but that’s an easy fix. The braking is a little-little less; barely tell.

I can’t belive how it drives. Guess I was expecting the worst. Now I want to go run something over.

I could find a Honda or a Toyota; would that work? lol

“Iwantjlu” it was the 3” shock extensions.

And I got fox 2.0 shocks. Fabtech just released a short arm kit yesterday I think, but mine had already was ordered.

Here is the pic where he cut. It was a small cut because it went inward or something. That’s the only cut and it’s not noticeable.

I love how much space I gained in my garage compared to the ram that used to be parked in it (prolly gained 6-8ft). Finally gave my wife’s truck the boot!!!! She’s parking outside.

Looks awesome! Especially loving the Ocean Blue and slightly jealous I didn't wait for that color.
It looks like the bumper piece they trimmed is part of the euro-style filler. I just removed those completely on my Sport in about 20min.

The Jeep looks great with the 37's! I seen a couple sports running 37's and its what i want to do as well, just a little iffy about it since the general consensuses is that a sport's axle cant handle the 37's long term. But this build 3" life coupled with the 37's looks perfect!

Yes the jeep is an automatic. The local store found them and ordered him no idea because I couldn’t find anything and then they found that… Is quite difficult finding parts

Thanks everyone for the likes… I was gonna wait for the lime green but the blue caught my eye and I waited long enough… But I really wanted to go with 37’s even with all the opinions that they may not fit but they are awesome and drives just as I imagined but even better

Congrats. Love the Ocean Blue! Having a hard time waiting to order mine, but for now I’m still planning to wait until 2019 models are available to order. The best part is that I have the full endorsement of the Mrs. on this one. She hated my last car and how much money and time I put into it. She’s wanted a convertible for a long time (I don’t) but when I suggested that we get a Jeep as the best if both worlds she was estatic.

I’ll probably have about $10K worth of wheels, tires, and other goodies waiting in the garage before I even take delivery.
Sounds like a great and realistic plan, I don't know if I can wait until the 2019, since my daughter will inherit my 2000 TJ, real soon now...well at least according to her time line....lol
