How much clearance does DV8 Fender Inners really give you? (answered)

Did you ever get the JKS kit installed?

Not yet, I really wanted to try out the 37’s without the JKS kit first to test DV8’s claim that 37’s fit without lift or other modifications at full articulation on stock Sasquatch suspension. Unfortunately my 37’s have been pushed back to April per General Tires… I’m looking at other options though to get something sooner. My neighbor has JKS installed on a stock Sasquatch with 37’s and he clears with minor rubbing at full articulation. Nothing bad though and we rip it up on all sorts of trails.

Update!

well I installed 37x12.5x17 Falken Wildpeaks… rubbed in a few ways that surprised me. Definitely don’t clear. They have some benefits but some drawbacks. Filmed a video which I’ll post soon. Main takeaway… not worth it at all. Save your money.

Any updates, or bottom line it doesn’t clear 37s without rubbing if you go off-road and use the full range of OEM Sasquatch suspension articulation?

Makes me wonder if the small 37s would have same issue (isn’t K02 more like 36?”

For the money...the DV8 fitment looks very poor.

I am not a fan of the fender liners lol. Not only for the reasons listed in this video (false advertising for fitting 37’s). But they are not lasting. My DV8’s are not holding up to wheeling. Brackets are snapping off and bolts snapping out. My rears are about to fall out

As soon as I saw it was multiple pieces....I knew they were a no go.

Do you rub that plastic support behind the front tires? I rubbed the factor liner off...not sure if the tires are hitting the plastic however. I did shave the drivers one down a bit.

I had the JKS kit installed which is supposed to remove that plastic piece. Unfortunately the shop that did the install didn’t install that part and threw that portion of the kit away haha.

My 37’s have been rubbing on it even with 0 offset and lift. I do hit whoops hard though, jump it and hit the rocks. That plastic piece has been “self clearancing”

I may knock them down with a flap disk. Hopefully that provides some clearance.
