Any one tried 40’s on the Mopar 2’0 with 1.5 inch leveling kit?

i think 2.5 if you split your fenders liners out.

If your going to mall crawl it get the aev 2" spacer lift and add a 0.5" spacer to it like the TeraFlex spacers.

I mean you could probably get away with 2" but your going to stuff something if you flex on something.

I did the AEV 2" spacer lit + 1" Teraflex spacers + geo brackets because i wanted to put the 40's on and figure out the minimum lift needed to not stuff anything before i spent money on a clatyton lift.
Mine is a Diesel and it looks like the 3.0" will be about perfect for overlanding.

Yeah Im sure I can’t get crazy with it. Keeping current 37’s for the off roading. Thinking I just need to cut fender liner just inboard of rock rail sits. Already have the RockSliders so no trimming there needed.

O if you have the rubicon sliders you need to trim like an inch of the end. its easy

I replaced mine with the n-fab podium lg steps so i didnt need to trim mine.

Get prepared for the tire shops to be rude about 40's. I ended up having to make an appointment at 4WP to get them balanced but i could not drive in on them, had to bring them in the bed.

If your driving on the road I would do Nitto Trail Grapplers or Maxxis Razr

Already changed the stock rails and running Rock Slider Engineering. So all good on the rails

The plastic inserts in your oem ball joints will eventually suffer the 40's. I preemptively did ball joint deletes.

I forgot to mention, depending on your year model, there is a bracket in the passenger side fender well you have to remove.
