Looking for smart people input that know about this stuff.
I've priced out everything I need to do to run 37s "properly" and we're talking over $8000. Will I cause myself more trouble than it's worth to go little by little? It appears you can put a 37x12.5 on the stock Rubicon rim, people on this forum are doing it, have pictures, have video and apparently it works. I'm debating between Clayton and Metalcloak right now, both top tier based on the research I've done. I don't have $8000 laying around so I'm thinking to start off with, get the lift and the 37s and then build out from there. Tire carrier (probably first), brakes, steering components, re-gear, new rims that appropriate fit manufacturer requirements, all in that order.
Am I crazy? Am I creating major headaches for myself because I'm not upgrading all these components at once? I wheel in CO and I'm 6 hours from Moab, went twice this year since I picked up my Jeep this past February. I've also driven over two curbs at the mall. So now you have an idea of the type of wheeling I do.
Am I even dumb to go to 37s? I just think they look like the right fit on the JL platform. I'm surprised I haven't damaged anything yet stock, a lot of scraping and a couple hard hits. Glad there's some stock protection under this thing.
Am I drunk??
