I want to see what you have. Looking for ideas. My goal is to run 35s w/ 2" suspension and 1" body, tube fenders, limit the up travel, cut the rear a bit.
Does anyone have any info on rubbing with 37s or larger tires on a short lift? I'm about to pull the trigger on 37s. I'm sitting on 2.5 suspension and 1.25 BL. My 35's stuff pretty darn good. Anything I should look out for?

Just rebuilt my TJ. 5.3 TH350 Atlas 60/14 14" Fox Coilovers 39" Reds. 106" WB, 83" Wide, 6'5" Tall. Around 1" of lift . It weighed in at 4250 lbs. I've still got to cut out the rear corners more to clear the tires.

I am curious, do you have a harsh ride with your shocks at an angle like that? I don't know a lot about suspension systems, but I have read that you want your shocks to be as perpendicular to the axle movement as possible.
See it actually fits perfect I am lifting the rear more do to it being right at 2 inches and only having around 2 inches of up travel I need at least 3.5! Other than that she sits quite pretty.
Optimal angle (viewing from the side) really should be 90* with the links at full bump. That allows the shocks dampening force to be progressive as the axle travels up word and most effective in the last inch or two of travel when it is almost in perfect line with the travel of the axle. This helps prevent harsh bottoming out with a well tuned shock/suspension.
The way his are setup is actually digressive as it travels to full bump but most effective around ride height. Nothing wrong with the way his shocks are setup as there are a lot of Jeeps, trucks, cars done that way, it just effects how the shock should be tuned for best performance.
Edit: I forgot to add, that really matters a lot more for a load bearing shock like a coilover, air shock, ect.

01 TJ with Zone 3 inch lift, 35x12.5x15 Pro Comp Xtreme Muds. The Crager steelies I have are from a JK so I am running Synergy 1.5" spacer/adapters. I plan on dropping it down an inch or so in the future
