And here is the look on flat ground... still got room to flex the 37s on 2.5 lift (danatrac 2" kit plus 1/2" spacer).

That looks great! Would be awesome if Jeep had an option to have it roll off the factory like this. Did you need any mod to accommodate the spare?

No mod needed to my surprise. I ordered the spare relocation bracket just in case but ended up returning it. But any tire size larger than this BFG 37 will need it because this new tire touches the bumper.

My biggest concern...will a 2 door wrangler with 37s look too Tonka toyish? Anyone have pics to share?

The goal is to do a very mild degree of off-roading...
Guess you won't like my proposed build, a JLR on 42's

I'm going for hard-core crawling. asymmetric axles will break up the Tonka look

You are going to want to stretch the hell out of that wheelbase. I lot of guys that do hardcore builds get the 4 door for the longer wheelbase.

A lot of 2 door guys have found out the hard way that very steep inclines result in flopping over backwards much more easily than a 4 door because of the shorter wheelbase. Thus they end up stretching the wheelbase. Many times AFTER finding this out the hard way on the trail...

I reached out to them directly and they put together a package for my specific vehicle:

YETI XD JL REAR ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR Ă— 1

YETI XD Steering Stabilizer Relocation Bracket (Axle Side) JL / JT Ă— 1

YETI XD™ JL/JT Adjustable Front Track Bar × 1

YETI XD™ JL/JT Drag Link with Griffin XD™ Attenuator - Bottom Mount / Red Bellow × 1

YETI XD™ Flex Steering Stabilizer / Damper Bracket (1-5/8" Tie Rod) × 1

YETI XD™ Tie Rod Assembly - 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL/JT RUBICON or GLADIATOR MAX Tow - Rubicon × 1

Yeti XD™ JK/JL /JT Sway Bar End Link Kit (2.5"- 3.5" Lift) × 1

YETI XD™ JL/JT Sector Support Frame Side Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket × 1


I used the Mopar lift kit, but had them use the Rock Krawler Front Spring Correction Pads, which do a much better job keeping the springs from bowing:

Oh man! Thanks for the reply. Went all out with that rig.

So many good looking 2 doors on 37s in this thread. I'll add a few "dirty pics" of mine in its element.

These 37 KO2 (run a bit on small side) are a match made in heaven for our 2 doors. I'm running AEV 2" spacer lift. Certainly doesn't look silly next to the obstacles it's going to tackle :like:

Looks great, are those the RSE gen 3 steps? Was that a pretty easy install and how do you like them?
