[QUOTE="BeatCJ, post: 1199716, member: 17448"] Even 37's are going to create braking issues, too. Do you have manual brakes or power? With 37's, it's probably time to think about hydroboost. IMO, (and repeating above) 35's are pretty much max on a CJ-5. How wide is the front axle? For me, switching from my Narrow trac to Wide Trac, 2 1/2" lift I had to get longer brakelines, unless you want to use THOSE as your limit strap. I would bet it's cut to match the rear, is it WideTrac (56" WMS to WMS)? The larger the diameter of the tire, the more issues you will create with rubbing as you turn. Teh list of things to consider is vast, and you get to the point of unintended consequenses pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
