More info on that Bumper and Winch please.
Bumper is a Rugged Ridge Arcus with a Warn VR8000. I added synthetic winch line. You can also see the red Maximus-3 tow loops I use to drag it behind the motorhome.

Does this mean 295’s on 17” are considered 35” as well?
Metric tire sizes work like this

Width(mm)/aspect ratio(% width)/rim inch

The conversion factor to inches is 25.4

So 295mm wide tire decided by 25.4 is 11.6" wide
Multiply by the aspect ratio% (.75 in this case) is 8.7in ....but theres a top and bottoms side wall....so double the 8.7" to 17.4"
Then add the rim diameter (17") comes to 34.4.....(or basically a 35)

Now keep in mind not all(most) tires don't measure exactly what they are sized ..so you may be at 33.8, 34.0 ect...

Getting ready to go to a 2.5" RC spacer lift (the $99 one) and may even try to squeeze in the RC .75" on the front as well using Rubicon front springs. Will take others advice and go with the slightly longer LCA's from Mopar. Has anyone felt the need to install an adjustable track bar? Or go with the geometry corrections brackets while using a 2.5" spacer? This is how it sits now w the Daystar 1.5" and 37's and a .75" rear spacer. I think it needs just a little more wheel well gap. While I have everything apart I may try and see how 1.5" rear spacers look.

Edited: I realized the first pic I originally posted was bone stock with 37's. Second pic is after the addition of a Rubicon take-off suspension and 1.5" Daystar spacer in the front and .75" in the rear. Don't ask me why the filter is so different bc I have no idea what I did to make it look that way.

Amazon has an adjustable track bar for $125 right now
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GWH82FC/

I just picked up a set of Fox 2.0's for 2-3" lift and an Iron Rock kit. I don't know if the recipe will work for us, but I know for sure having the front axle not centered is a no-go for me.

Hopefully the Fox shock valving will be tighter than the OEM specs from FCA - it's bugged me since day one how relaxed the Rubicon shocks are.

I recently installed an RC adjustable track bar on a 2003 WJ w a 1.5” lift and it made a shockingly HUGE difference. Granted, the UCA’s are a bit different on the Grand Cherokee and the front axle was only off by maybe 1/2” but the adjustable track bar made a night and day difference

If you get the Geo Brackets you want need the longer lower control arms. I just did the Geo Brackets and it made a huge difference in how mine drives especially with a strong cross wind and going over bumps. Still have the stock lowers installed and I'm probably about to buy a RC adjustable Track bar.
