[iwantajeep]

I am looking to go with 37 12.50 15 ,what all would I have to do to get these on there. It will be ONLY street use.LOOKS only. Thanks Dave

gears, axle shafts or stronger axles, 6" of lift on a TJ or alot of trimming and less lift

What axles do you have on the vehicle? What gearing?

 

[dkrajcovic]

for street only 6" lift & 4.88 gears & front tube fenders would be awesome for you

would a 4 inch lift and a 2 inch body lift work? sorry for being dumb to all this...

Yes IMO the 4 inch lift and 2 inch BL would be fine.

I ran 35s on a 3 inch lift with little rubbing at full flex, since your running on street only I would look at with just the 4 inch lift and check your clearances, add the 2 inch BL if needed.

As far as axles the Rear D35 would be your issue, its not stout enough to handle 37s even on the street, the Front D30 will fine for street use, although the Unit Bearings might wear quicker.

So either locate a bolt in TJ 44 for the rear or purchase a Ford 8.8, I would think even a ZJ 44a would be ok, but I don't know a ton about that axle.
