Evening Y'all. Looking at buying a 4" Rough Country longarm kit for my 05 TJ. Right now I'm running 2" pucks with 33s and 1.25" offset spacers. Ideally I would love to run 35, possibly 37s. With anyones experience in that past I want to know the biggest tires I can fit?
Thanks for the help [emoji106]

Not trying to flame you or be negative, only trying to help. I understand you are looking for the biggest tires you can fit with this particular kit. Which I believe is a 35, maybe a 36..It may be easier to answer your question if we knew if you were running stock fenders, tube fenders, or possibly hi-line fenders. These details will make differences in your goal of achieving a preferred tire size.
However, I just want to let you know Rough country is know around here to produce very cheap lifts. Many people here have had experience with RC lifts and majority ruled it, "would not recommend." More so, cheap compents like shocks and small builder items that are included in the lift kit make it cheap and unwelcoming on the road.
If you are serious about running a big tire like a 37, IMO it would be naive to run that tire at a ~93 inch wheelbase. At the tire size you want as a goal, I would be looking at kits that stretch the rear a few inches back and front a few inches forward. At the very least rear stretch kits and a stretch type gas tank to accommodate it.
I admit I haven't done research but I have glanced at the Genright Stretch kits and I would start researching there if I were you.

Rock Krawler offers WB stretches on their 37 and up tire fitment suspension kits too.
Finally, I havent done the research on the stretch kits. But I do believe it that any reputable Jeep shop might steer you in the same direction. However it is your money, your Jeep, and ultimately your decision to build it as YOU please.
