I love what you have done! Great set up with the 2" Mopar lift and 37's. This is the look I want for my JLRU.

Did you have to make any additional suspension mods along with the Mopar lift? Have you had any issues or regrets with the 37's? How does it handle on the highway at 70-80 mph compared to the original factory setup with 33'S? I know the added weight and additional height has affected the performance, but drastically or just a little noticeable? Sorry for the all the questions! Lol!

Oh yeah... what wheels are those with the 37" tires on them?

37s look so perfect with the 2 inch mopar lift! I am in the same boat. Just bought wheels with 35 inch tires, and may have to upgrade to 37 after I install the lift next week. Thanks for posting and your Jeep looks great!
I agree 100%. To me, the factory JLRU looks best with 35's (33's are too small). Whenever you add a 2-3" lift, the 35's just look too small with that set up. 37's become the new sweet spot with the lift.

Most would agree in regards to 37's looking better with a 2.5" lift, but after talking to alot of people who went to 37s, it has been a costly move bc most want to regear and upgrade steering components...especially if they offroad. The braking is also affected along with additional stress on ball joints/bearings. That's a hefty price to pay to gain 1" of clearance.

Good point.

Every time I think I should just go with 35’s, I see some 37’s and I think... that’s what I really want. But, it seems 37’s open up a whole new set of issues and a lot of additional stress throughout the suspension and drive train.

How's the ride?

I do love the American Adventure Lab bits. That's going to give you a lot of flex.

Im using the MetalCloak Rocksport shocks for now. I thought about trying something different but everyone I talked to said use theirs since it’s valves for their springs.

It rides really good. I can’t believe it. I need to drop the air pressure in my tires a little more and then I think I will be really nice and soft.

I’m really digging the American Adventure Lab set too. It looks really good!
