I got a 3.5" lift for my 37s but it gained much more than that. Makes the tires look small. Will they settle or sag over time? Or do I have to start adding weight haha!

I think it looks good. That extra space will come in handy on the trails!
Yeah I bet!
Last jeep was a minimum lifted (1.5") JKUR with 33s (km3).
This is a big improvement.

Ran 37s without a lift for a few months haha

Give it a month of driving. It'll probably settle a little bit.

I hope it settles just a little. Don't want to have to go with 38s or 40s haha! Just bought these tires.

I will likely settle a little bit. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just keep driving it and be happy you such an amazing looking Jeep!

You may settle a tiny bit, but I wouldn't expect much.

Of course it's a give and take, but uptravel definitely helps high speed off road ride comfort. Depending on your bump/shock setup, you still may be up into the fenders at full stuff.

It's whatever bumpstop metalcloak provided.

There's a lot of space! I did fine crawling rocks in my JKUR with a 2" lift and 33s.

I assume not all of it. You probably only need an inch or two of the 4" they give you in a Diesel with your built in bump extension.

My older setup with un-gutted Rubi fenders, 3.5" GC with 37s. Stuffed tire is pushing the inner fender up pretty good.

Correct, some of the bumpstops was returned.

Man, I'm loving this lift! After correct angles and alignment, she drives good. A bit on the sensitive side, I read that a steering stabilizer would help.
