Finally got a chance to install my Reaper Off Road Gravestone F3 stinger bumper.
I figured with the deer running around the bumper will save the grill and radiator, and it’s cheaper than a deductible... ?

Checked some clearances. 3.5” springs, 3” bumpstops, and still can’t clear a 35 with these sport flares. Oddly enough, a 37 would fit in the rear with only 2” of bumpstop.

I see a chop in my future (preferably before the tires do their own clearancing)

Do the Rubicon fenders offer more clearance?

Yes. 2 inches if I’m not mistaking.
@Daniel_Pantoja if you look at pictures the Rubicon fenders are higher, at the hood line. Personally I don’t understand the business case for Mopar doing this. The 4.10 gears and 4:1 transfer case could’ve been what differentiated the Rubicon, though I guess the stock sport tires would look puny with bigger fenders.

What size tires, and what lift?

Measured the bottom of the receiver for a weld on 2.5” steel roller instead of a skid to reduce drag on departures and protect chain loops. Better to rock and roll vs dragging ass. I’ll powder coat red to match hooks.
Wonder if the bolt will carry that much weight.

Sales and packaging. Sales = one less thing you need to increase tire size. May pull prospective buyers over the hump to purchase an increased option package. Packaging = no mods needed to run an upsized tire.

Makes sense. I'm about to replace my Rubicon fenders with aftermarket ones.... As soon as I can find new fender liners specifically for the diesel. I was hoping for plastic to help keep the weight down.
