@RICH YENCHO Just so I understand, your Jeep is a stock JLR, no lift (stock height, except the rear 3/4" spacer) with 37" tires? Looks like the tires fit perfect.

EXACTLY CORRECT. Stock w/ 3/4" fishbone rear spacer. And 1 3/4" wheel spacers. I'll even do you one better, with actual stock Mopar spring numbers. LF 0229AD, RF 0230AD, RR 9110AA, LR 9109AA. MY JEEP was ordered 3.6 6-speed soft top. No tow or HT. Hope this helps!!

Thanks!

Huh, I don't see a reason to lift it, especially if there are some narrower/taller tires, 35x10.5 or something similar.

I’m a car dealer and sold a ton of Jeep’s in all different styles. This is my personal 15th CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, JKU & JL. Everyone has their own style, that’s what makes the platform so popular. Express yourself with yours. Just please don’t lower one!!! Hahaha

I’m not in any way being a smart ass, but it’s a “Jeep thing” and since 1989 I wanted a Jeep with 37’s or 40’s. Now it’s just sooo easy to do compared to the extreme mods we had to do back then, and daily driving one that big then wasn’t really practical and not much fun. Now, nbd.

I'm just commenting that most people think a lift is 'necessary". I dont.

 

[RICH YENCHO]

Your absolutely correct, a lift is not necessary, it was just as fun before I was fortunate enough to be able to do lifts, shocks, stabilizer, gears, rims, tires, lockers, etc we had lots of fun with stock wranglers. They’re still one of the most capable and fun summer convertibles, winter beasts, and off road Ledgends. Enjoy yours to the fullest!! “Jeep wave”!

Thanks for showing the measurements. So it looks like your spacer lift sits at exactly the same height as my 2 inch Danatrac lift kit plus 1/2 terflex spacers in both f/r. So it's a 2.5 lift. I upgraded all the LCAs and adjustable both f/r trackbars just to get everything streched out and squared up.

Below are my results for both sides and final side shots sitting 37" BFG KO2s. I really like that the rear adj. LCA pushed my resr axle back to the center of the rear fender and lengthened my wheelbase again (2 doors cant afford to lose any wheelbase due to lift).
I still want to get the rear UCAs to reset my pinion angle.

Also, I am not sure if I were to remove the 1/2 spacer if I would get more fender rubbing. I like the low center of gravity builds but also want max articulation room for the 37s. hmmm...

I hope this helps others...

I did more rear measurements after putting mopar rear 2” lift coils for 2 door (got 2 3/4” lift) and no spacers for $46.00 and so far it’s pretty spot on gap with the front 2.5”spacers. It’s here posted under “budget 2 door 37’s JLR LEVEL stance”. Ride’s and drives pretty much the same too!! I’m so far pretty happy with the stance, ride & drive ability for a few hundred bucks. I’m trying not to get into the $1000’s like my last JKR or yours (which is the first hellayella JLR pics i saw & wanted mine to look like yours thanks for the inspiration btw)!!! And yes your Dynatrac 2" without the 1/2" spacers is exact same lift height.

So happy I saw this thread!!! This is I think I'm going to start my build, I had no Idea you could run 37's so easily. Absolutely love yours, mines yellow as well, so I get a good idea of how mine will look!!
Did you wheel yours with no lift?
