How about the mopar 2inch if I were going more expensive? Do you think 2inches would be enough?
I swear I gained easily more than 2" with the Mopar lift. I don't have a before & after measurement as I bought it with the lift already installed. I can tell you I had to step up even further than I did with my old JKU with a 2.5" RC lift on 35s

I parked next to one exactly like mine but with the mopar lift and 315’s. It was quite a bit taller with my 34s and 1.5 lift.

Nice setup! Gonna show that to a friend! He'll start his Gladiator project mid this month once he's done with the JK project. The suspension, shocks, and jeep wheels for the Wrangler are on the mail. Bet he'll like that sharp looks and stance.

I'm running the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws as well. Had them on previous Jeeps too. Love them, they're quiet, and have handled all weather conditions out here in the Midwest.
Great price!

I have 37 12.5 17s BFGs. At 30 psi on a 8.5 wide wheel they measure 35 and 3/4 inches tall. I have a 3.5 inch lift so no rubbing issues at all. I was a little disappointed at the size of the BFGs because my local 4x4 shop told me they would be 36.5 inches tall.

He also has a premium soft top, that I am tempted by for $1000.00. If he comes down I may end up with that as well.

I really like those wheels, the center caps are made to look like the old school locking hubs, cool.

My concern with the Falken's, and I agree they are a great tire, is the weight. 37" tires can/will put a lot of stress on axle/steering components. The BFG KO2 37x12.50x17 is actually less weight than the stock Falken 285-70-17. That is one reason a lot of people go with them, myself included.

I do really love the size/weight of the BFG's and was torn between those and the Nitto 37x11.5, but I just could not pass up this deal. The Falken's will be just fine for me for that price. I need to get a few supporting mods installed before I will actually run these full time, but I do plan to do a test fit to see how they look with what I have now.
