    2" spacer lift with 35's. I did the Bushwacker flat fenders but you could trim the OEM's if you like that look. Rides great and is inexpensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ball Joints

    Went to my dealer for an oil change at 47000 miles and was told I needed upper and lower ball joints and a tie rod. They were going to charge about $2200 for parts and labor. I have 35's with 4 1/2" backspacing but have only had those on for about a year and a half. Seems kind of soon to me...

    Rattle Free Tire Carrier, looking for opinions. PSC, Expedition one, Genright?

    I think I might have missed what size tire you're looking to carry but I have a 35" on a Rugged Ridge heavy duty tire carrier and it's solid with no rattles. (Not my pic) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LIft for a 2I017 JKUR

    I run 35 x 12.5's on my JK using 17 x 9 wheels with 4.5" backspacing. Everything I researched said that was the magic number for no rubbing. I can't recommend a spring lift. I run a 2" spacer lift from AEV. I can't say if this would have worked by itself. I had my doubts so I went with...

    Fenders: To cut or not to cut??

    I’m in the camp of not liking the look of cut flares but totally an individual opinion. I have the Bushwacker flat flares and love the look. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tire question

    I had 285 70R17 Duratracs on stock Rubicon wheels. I added two washers to the steering stops and no rubbing when turning. I had a 2" spacer lift so I don't know if you'll rub when flexing. My Jeep with the 285's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Question change hard top to soft top and back ?

    I bought TJ new with a soft top only and ran it for 10 years through New England weather (winters). Warmth was no problem. The cons were that I had to stay on top of cleaning the snow off the top. Not sure how the top would have fared under heavy New England snow. Getting into the back was...

    Going to 35's

    Last piece of the puzzle. I didn't want a stubby bumper but I didn't want to risk rubbing at full lock when stuffing a tire into the wheel well. These VDP end caps make more of a mid length bumper and i thought they looked good with the flares. Good compromise. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Going to 35's

    New tires and wheels are on! They still owe me the spare. Only 4 wheels were shipped. Maybe tomorrow. Loving the look. No rubbing but the tire is pretty close to the bumper when turning. May rub when tire gets stuffed while turning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
