To me, the basic fender flares look better with the rubicon wheels and suspension than what comes standard on the rubicon. Maybe Jeep should consider offering the high clearance flares as an added option on the rubicon packages, as opposed to automatically including them.

The stance of your rig looks good. Considering the weight over the rear axle what did you do to get it level? The front fenders for the Rubicon take into consideration additional flex with the sway bar disconnect and extra axle width. I have a set of white sport fenders. If you know someone with Rubicon fenders that wants to trade let me know.

They're included for the clearance. You can make standard flares work with larger tires by removing the inner piece but Rubicon fenders will do 37s just fine without modification and that's a pretty common upgrade size on these trucks.

Thanks! I’m running airlift bags in the rear springs to offset the ~500lbs of add ons and gear. I like the bags because they allow me to adjust depending on load and help ensure that I can keep a subtle rake. Dramatically improved the handling as well (much less sway and body roll). The bags were some of the best money I’ve ever spent on a Jeep-
