That stance and the full flex with no rubbing has me leaning toward this route. Super clean look you have there with honestly a bit more clearance than I would have expected.37x12.50x17 BFG KO2 on stock Wheels. 2023 Mojave. No lift.
I put one washer in the steering stop both sides
I trimmed a little from the inner fender liner
I flexed it as much as I possibly could off road and have zero rubbing or other issues.
I maintained a low center of gravity, which should be the ultimate goal for everyone that off roads. Only lift a vehicle as necessary to clear your tires.

2100 rpms in 8th is super encouraging with 37s. Coming from a '12 JKU the 8spd has been pretty great. Also looking at your truck with 37s and the AEV is getting me real close to just saying to hell with it, biting the bullet and doing it all at once. Do you have the geo relocation brackets with the AEV lift as well?You won't lose the ability to cruise 80mph even with the 4.10s and 37s. 37s went on yesterday and even though I haven't recalibrated yet it cruises along at 85mph according to the GPS at 2100 rpms in 8th gear. I'd say tires 1st as it makes the biggest difference in looks and function but I did both at the same time. Very happy with the AEV 2" kit and 37s although the procal needing a wiring harness is lame.
No, I may add them but it feels great without them.
Lift first? This is what I am researching. Them can choose, 33s, 35s or 37s and have plenty of room.
You’re forgetting about break over with the long jt. The higher the lift the more clearance. If it wasn’t for my Clayton 2.5 which is actually a 3.5 inch lift and 37s I wouldn’t be able to hit as many trails as I do without scraping frame.37x12.50x17 BFG KO2 on stock Wheels. 2023 Mojave. No lift.

I’m looking at the same lift for my JTR, do you have any pros and cons with the lift? I’ve done a ton of research and seems to be a very solid lift with very little drawbacks. What is your experience? Thanks!
I didn't forget, just didn't mention because I don't off road in areas where breakover angle is needed. I completely understand a lift will raise the body and frame, which also helps approach and departure angles. If my JT is hindered by breakover angle I probably shouldn't be on that type of trail with it. I have a JLU for that. But I do see your point. For some it may be needed.
About to pull the trigger on some 37s based on your feedback. Are you running spacers with the stock mojave wheels? If not, any rubbing? Probably my last unknown. I'd like to run the stock mojave wheels to save some money here with the lift impending.
