So can anyone explain what rubbing issues you would have at full flex with stock rubicon wheels, 2” mopar lift, and 37”s ?

I actually use my vehicle to explore remote places and I can’t get a single person to do a flex test with these parameters.

If you can turn lock to lock without hitting the rock rail or lower control arm then you are good to go. If at full articulation your tire touches the inner or outer fender then your tire will tear up your fender. If that is the case then it is adjustable via the bump stop.

This one looks absolutely perfect, other than the color and noisy a$$ tires, in my opinion

Have you driven a vehicle running these tires, or just basing your opinion on others' opinions and internet hearsay? I have owned many of the popular MT and AT tires on the market, and these are definitely amongst the quietest of both varieties. I have a Ford F-350 on 37" Toyo RTs, and these KM3s are much quieter.

Do you happen to know the details on this? Is it the 2in Mopar Lift? Any ideas on the tire size? I love the fitment.

Any insight on the necessity of re-gearing with 37s?

You’re going to get answers all over the spectrum. It will depend on your stock gearing, the type of use, type of transmission, and expectations. The JL owner’s with 4.10 gearing and automatic transmissions report that they do pretty well with 37s.

Drove a friends JL Rubi with 37’s and it had no problem holding 80 mph.
I’m getting 37’s installed Wednesday on my Rubi JT. I’ll report back.

For the Sport S owners out there...I just picked up my JT on Monday and added 37x12.5/R17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts on Black Rhino Arsenal wheels NO LIFT.

I just removed the plastic that connects the bumper to the fenders with a utility knife in 5 minutes.

I have been planning to try 37s no lift on my Rubicon.

I like, and appreciate, the "stuffed" look, because I try to practice that myself on all of my builds (most tire, least lift, but still maintaining good flex and clearance). But damn! Hit 1 good speedbump too fast, and you're buying new fenders... I'd at least toss a 1" to 1.5" spacer front & rear...

Yea, a lift of some kind is needed long term. There is definitely rubbing on the passenger fender if you aren’t careful. 2.5”-3.5” Rubicon Express Lift with a Fox Shocks is getting installed next week with a Fab Four Stubby Front Bumper. I just couldn’t take the stock look any longer!

You’ll like the Fab Fours bumper, I love mine. It gets all sorts of compliments.

Did you end up having the RE lift installed if so how do you like it? I have mine in the cart finger on the trigger! But I’m just not sure I’m thinking 3-3.5 with fox shocks, and added the front adjustable LCA. Trying to stay on budget but not sure if I want to add rear adjustable track bar or if the bracket is enough also keep eyeballing the adjustable rear UCA so many decisions and not enough money
