Is the JKS max clearance kit always necessary for 37 tires?

The Raptor sidesteps all of this — stock suspension geometry is already dialed for 37s from the factory. No crash bar trimming, no JKS kit, no body mount surgery. Kind of nice not having a project just to keep the tires I started with.

That’s great if one can afford the extra $30-$40k price tag. The Raptors are definitely awesome. A little wide though.

I thought about this but having invested a lot of time and money on other mods in my Wildtrak I didn't feel like starting over and I didn't want to adopt someone else's abandoned Raptor "project". Plus I haven't had any issues with mine despite all the trail abuse and I appreciate the smaller fenders and narrower stance. But it's all on now anyway and I have no clearance issues, still drives fantastically with the performance tune.

The raptor has its own drawbacks that can't be corrected with a little trimming.

Fair — mine's the MIC top cracking and my bank account. Tire clearance just isn't one of them, small win I'll take.
