I'm still undecided on a 2.5 or 3.5 inch lift (I'll be going Metalcloak) with my 37's or 38's. Does anyone have pictures so I can compare? Some pictures I see show plenty of room with a 2.5.

I'm in the exact same place, debating between 2.5 and 3.5...

Had the same tough decision to make and spent way too much time scouring the forums for pictures. I ended up ordering the 3.5” gamechanger and the full undercloak skid system. It’s been sitting in my garage for 5 weeks. I will be installing it next week over the holiday weekend. Can’t wait!

I haven’t bought 37’s yet though. Need to figure that out but the 35’s will do for a bit. I’ll be looking on Black Friday for tires, driveshaft, and scheduling a regear. Maybe some RCV’s.

Good luck with your decision

Maybe another way to go about this is at to ask those with a Rubicon and 37s: 1) if you got a 2.5, have you wished you'd gotten a 3.5? 2) if you have a 3.5, have you ever wished you'd gotten a 2,5? 3) How many have had either a 2.5 or 3.5 and actually changed it to something ese after the fact?

37s+ the 3.5s are great. 36 and below are perfect with 2.5” lift. This is obviously a personal preference but you need more bump stops with big tires and smaller lifts.

Nitto 37’s and MC 2.5 were just right for me. Plenty capable for what I use it for and handles great on the road.

And here I was all but sold on going with a 3.5, but this looks really good. Do the Nitto's measure to a 37 or are they a bit smaller?
