Mounted the Teraflex "Mojave Special" 2.5" lift and NITTO 37" (37X13.50R17) Ridge Grapplers (emphasizing 13.50 as opposed to 12.50 for extra burly). So, total lift is approaching the 4" mark (not accounting for tire size) due to the Mojave rolling off the line about 1" higher than a Rubicon.

You have any rub issues with that setup at full stuff/turn?

Hey man, we have almost identical rigs same fenders and all, I’m going with 40 in Patagonia’s currently on 38’s going with 4.88s chromoly shafts and upgraded ball joints and 1 ton tie rod next week, I also have the 2 inch mopar and adding a 1 inch spacer for the front to level it out. What does your set up consist of? Thanks.

Sorry to resurrect this. I'm looking at a very similar setup. 2" AEV Mojave lift. 37"x12.5 tires and the same 17" BR Armory's.

My question is, discount tire and others say that the 17" Armory's do not fit. Obviously they do because you and many others are running them. Do you know why online tire sites like discount say that they do not work?

My guess is bc they stick out too far to pass state inspection if required? Other than that, no clue?

My thoughts.
17” and larger would most likely be to clear the diameter of brakes. Where the wheel spacer will give outward length for clearance of control arms.

I edited my comment, i meant to put "cant" not "can". So to be clear what do you think would solve the brake problem in order to have a smaller wheel than 17"?
