Wasn’t too big, i don’t recall the size though. For the filler, i just used a rubber grommet i had laying around. The usb-c connectors are fairly small, which helped.

Good details. I'll have to monitor mine (2024 XR with Clayton 2.5" lift and similar length shocks you mentioned). I specifically chose the shorter shocks and 2.5" over 3.5" lift because I knew this would be a consideration. Curious if a double CV front DS will come along, opening up the...
No regrets going 37's, but I absolutely planned on regearing as part of the mods. Even with these very small 37's, I find it hunts more than I would like. 4.56 is doable, but you will be happier regeared IMO.
