Can't wait to see some picture of 2 doors being lifted! I can't decide on 35 or 37 Ko2.

Any issues with the backspacing running a 12.5in wide tire on the Hardrock wheels? I love their look but was wondering if you'd also need spacers.

Did you paint the Mopar Tailgate Reinforcement Kit? Looks cool! Stock black wheels look great here too — not sure I’ve seen someone do this yet. I’m putting KO2 37s on next week. Glad to hear it rides good.

Thanks! I had it stripped and powder coated. Didn’t turn out like I wanted so I dropped it off with my new front bumper today to get color matched painted. I’ll send pics once its done.

Nice. These are the stock rims at 7.5 but specs on the tires say min of 8.0. That Ok or is that pushing it into a safety risk?
Discount tire had no qualms about it. They even told me that the size was "the limit" before they couldn't do it. 37s might be different I don't know.

Hmmm! It’s certainly odd that no one from MOPAR mentioned before that the springs were intentionally designed to have a bow in them. Or did I miss something?
I actually met Brett earlier this year during Easter Jeep Safari. Super nice guy, pretty much told me the same thing he relayed in the video.

I dropped mine off at discount tire and left, they said nothing. I had prepaid, the were not gentle with the rims for sure. The don’t look worse than a wheeling trip so I didn’t complain.

Hey guys -- this thread is THE reason I decided to go with 37s & 2 inch lift. I wanted to give back with some pictures of my own. I am relatively new to Jeep (and officially addicted) and this forum has made my research a ton of fun. Huge shout out to The Custom Shop in Queens for all their hard work. Go check out their Instagram -- some cool stuff on there. Ended up going with the Mopar 2 inch lift on BFG KO2 37x12.50X17. Wheels are American Racing AX 202 in Cast Iron Black (17x9). 4.5 inches of backspacing (-12mm offset). Also went with the Mopar Performance Rock Rails to finish off the look. Still waiting on Mopar Grill Guard & 7 inch Mopar LED Lights. Not sure yet if I am going to do the Mopar 5 inch A-Pillar LED lights & brackets but that might be on the docket too. My Tazer JL is in the mail -- however on first test my speedometer looks to be spot on with 0 calibration -- might be beginners luck but I checked it all the way to 60 MPH with Waze and it was accurate -- weird. Overall really happy with my choice -- I can feel the additional weight of the tire when I am driving which definitely can make it feel slightly "slower" -- however the actually RIDE (bumps in the road, smoothness) is very similar to stock if not the same. On top of that, my Jeep wave % has definitely increased -- which is saying something for New York (if you don't know people here are not exactly the most friendly on the road). Let me know if I can answer any questions for you guys -- look forward to seeing you at the Mall -- I mean trails ;)

How stable are those Mopar premium rock sliders when used as a step? I really like them, but I am torn between those, and something like the Ace ones or LOD.
