So I have 8" of lift on a 2001 XJ. Currently, I am sitting on 35" MTR's. I wanna upgrade to 37's. I haven't trimmed much at all at this point, but I am commited to pullinig the flares and trimming to get the 37's on it. What do you guys think?? Should I get the 37's??
aint gotta be full width, just 3/4 or 1 ton. thats plenty of lift if you cut, could probably even drop it a tad if you get carried away with the cutting.
I got a D44 out back with the Super 44 33 spline Detroit. I have a HPD44 in front with Yukon chromoly axles and an OX Locker. Parts Mike high steer setup up front too. 4.88 gears.
So I know it will take trimming, and I will probably prepare to put more gear into the axles...5.13's maybe. I think I will be ok, just wanted to get some opinions.

It's more how much you're willing to cut than it is the lift height. I know 35's can be run with 5.5" lift with the right cutting and properly set bumpstops. I run 37's on 7.5" and still have done quite a bit of cutting and have messed with bumpstop placement.
Why 37's? Axles are by far the biggest question, with steering next. I have pretty stout axles, and I've broken more with the 37's than I did with the 31's, 32's, 33's, and 35's combined.
I went out with some of the AZVJC guys a couple weeks ago to Martinez Canyon and realized how important clearance under the axles was in the big rocks. I have the opportunity to get rid of my 35's and get into the 37's for a couple hundred bucks and figured I would go for it.
Sounds like your saying I should stick with the 35's???
On my last XJ, I ran 37's under my RE 5.5" kit (6.5" actual lift) without any rubbing issues other than the LCA's. Trimming and especially bumpstops are important. My current XJ has the RE 5.5" kit with the RE 3.5" ZJ coils and well worn 4.5" leaf packs and stock shackles (5" actual lift) with 35's on 15x10's with 3.5" BS and again, not a single rubbing issue. I have tech articles on fender trimming and adjusting bumpstops on my website if that would help: www.rocklizardfabrications.com
