Hey all,

Looking to see if anyone is running the Mopar 2" and AEV wheels (JL backspacing 5.72)? I'll be running 37" KO2s. Unfortunately, no hard wheeling, 99% dailey driving. Can't seem to get a yes or no if it will be an issue, so I'm looking for some help! I'd hate to drop that kind of cash on this setup and find out it's no bueno

Thanks!

If you aren't gonna wheel, you'll be fine. You'll have some slight clearance issues in the rear when you fully articulate, but you're just gonna rub on the fender and the endcap a smidge. It won't hurt anything.

Our 2019 Rubicon had an issue with the 37" Nitto Ridge Grappler on AEV Savegre II's rubbing the OEM Rubicon front skid plate on the passenger side until we installed an adjustable track bar to center the axle. The rubbing only happened at full lock turning left. It mostly happened in parking lots or parking garages when you needed to turn the wheel hard to get into or out of a parking spot.

Thank you I will definitely keep an eye out! I am hoping the size difference between the ridge grappler and ko2 will negate that
