The above has a teraflex lift (maybe 2.5”) and 36” Irocs. I just bought some CORE upper control arms for the rear and thinking about what to use as lowers. I’ve been told that wj rear lowers (v8 and HD) are an inch or two longer than stock TJ lowers - what is on there now. I’m hoping to get the wheels centered in the wheel wells. Any advice would be appreciated.
Centering the wheels in the wheel wells is irrelevant.
What needs to be centered is the upper jounce bumper with the bump stop pad on the axle beneath it. Nothing else matters other than that, period. There's a good chance that your wheels will still not be centered in the wheel wells after that, as 36" tires are really pushing it for the stock wheel openings (as you can see in your photos). Still, adjustable control arms will help to some degree, but not as much as I suspect you're hoping they will
You really need some highline fenders on that thing with 36s.

That’s definitely something I’m interested in. Any recommendations for high lines?Centering the wheels in the wheel wells is irrelevant.

As far as highline tube fenders go, GenRight makes the best-of-the-best as far as I am concerned:

They aren't cheap, but if you get the highline version, you'll gain a considerable amount of room!

Beautiful rubi! Love the Iroks! +1 on the highlines....Too bad AEV no longer makes the hood and fender combo kit anymore.
Thanks! I’m thinking AEV realized Genrite and Meatcloak were dominating the tj market and moved on to JK.
