You may still get some rubbing at full lock. You may have to have to do some cutting and install a JKS High clearance kit for the piece of the frame that the front crash bars bolt into. The kit is sold here at the BN store and there are numerous installation videos on YouTube. There are several members here at the BN that can provide insight into the process.

Also if you a planning on reusing the factory wheels you might want wheel spacers to help with clearance. If you go that route get good spacers, don’t cheap out on those, I speak from experience.

I'd use caution before going to 37's. If you are not going to beef up the suspension then you are asking for massive troubles..

I guess the question is did you go with a 2” leveling kit? (Body lift) or a 2” suspension lift?

I've been doing a lot of reading/watching lately and I'm torn.
I really like the idea of 37s...
But I think I might just end up with a more "true" 35, since, as we all know the Sasquatch tire is actually like 33.7" or something, but is sold as a 35.

I'm just not sure it's worth all the extra hassle for the extra inch or so of clearance.

That is where I have landed. These factory 35’s or 33.5” have been all I have needed. And I think we have done some pretty tough trails. Since the dealership was really good to us on the last visit when I was going to replace the tires and they only sell the OEMs and BFG KO2 and I have the warranty with them I’m going to stick with the OEM another round then look at some 35x12.5 R17

I'm definitely not sticking with the Goodyear's. I don't like them lol. And I would like the tiny bump to a true 35", though I haven't had any issues yet with my 33.7" 35s...
