Given the easy access of having everything exposed, I'd do the suspension with the body off. Too many irons, I completely understand, but the ease of not fighting the body.Just curious for those that have done A 3.5 game changer install, IF you were doing an ls swap and suspension lift at the same time, and the body was already off the frame, would you go ahead and swap the suspension or wait till it was back together then do suspension swap? Nervous about getting too many irons in the fire but feel like it would be an easier swap as a rolling chassis.
Your Jeep looks great! Hate to be that guy, but did you do all the supporting mods that everyone preaches about to go with your 37s? Gears, truss, C's, Steering, etc? Recently purchased a 3.5 GC lift with the end goal of going STT Pro 37s, but I think I will have to settle for 35s until I switch out my 4.10s and build out the front axle a bit.37" MetalCloak 3.5" I have recently swapped out these stock fenders to Poison Spyder. This is my grocery getter picture. As you can see, I have groceries in the back. This was on the way home after a day of wheeling. Had to get pickup breakfast and milk. I like to fully embrace the "Mall Crawler" appearance of the JKU.

Glad to hear everything worked out. Rig looks great by the way. What shocks did you select?This thread had me in pins and needles when I was scheduling my Game Changer install at Cloakworks. I have a month old 2017 Rubicon and installed flat fenders with 17x8.5 Racelines on 35x12.5 GY MTR’s. The thought was to install a 3.5” GC because I’ll be going 37’s (and all the associated beefy upgrades to go with 37’s) in a couple years. The fear was I’d be riding ‘too’ high in the meantime with the said 35’s. After weighing several factors and studying the rigs on this thread, I stayed with the original plans and couldn’t be happier!
Post install, if I had any MORE gap than I have now, I’d have a very different opinion. With a full size spare and winch in front, I think it came
out PERFECT.]
I just stuck with the RockSports. From what I understood, while they offer a Fox option, only the Rocksports and 6 packs are 'tuned' to MC specs. Until I learn more about the Fox shocks, I figured go with the less expensive route. That said, I am attracted to the Fox 2.0 Performance Series Reservoir Shock - I just don't know how they would perform comparatively.Glad to hear everything worked out. Rig looks great by the way.

Not sure either. I know the Fox shocks provide a smooth ride, but the travel isn’t there. I think you made the right choice with the Rocksports. Can’t wait to see some flex shots.I just stuck with the RockSports. From what I understood, while they offer a Fox option, only the Rocksports and 6 packs are 'tuned' to MC specs.

If you are asking me the answer is yes. Stock HardRock wheels with 1.75 spacers to get to 4.5" of back spacing.Are those stock rims? If so then Spacers?
Yes and no. Same reason I am running stock wheels. I am saving up for axles. However, I have beefed up my steering with the Steer Smarts Yeti products. I am also looking at getting the PSC Big Bore steering box. 4.10s on 37s with the 3.6L is live-able. There is a member in my club with the same setup except he is running 4.88s and I must say hes drives so much nicer on the hwy. But I didn't want to sink a lot of money in these axles. I am looking at a few axle options at the moment. Dana 60's was my original plan but I might go another route.Your Jeep looks great!
