    I'm gonna do either 31's or 33's. I thankfully don't have a case of the "Big'un" syndrome and wanna squeeze the biggest possible tire on. I like a little flex room and space. To me it looks better. So i'm gonna throw on a buddies set of 33's and see what i think.

    told ya itd be better with all that on there...oh you can squeeze 35s with some trimming :peace:

    what were some of the snags? when i first did it i had to just about beat the ever living daylights out of my spindle to get it out...when i removed the ones that you now have i used the springs power to remove it.

    Yea, the stock spindle was a son of a ***** to get off. The biggest snag was my nuts didn't fit the bigger u-bolts. Thankfully my uncle has a fancy little jeep shop him and his buddies have so we went down there, re-threaded the ubolts and got new nuts to go on. then drove back and put em on. The other thing that took so long was getting the rear shocks off. The thread on them were a mile long and hard as heck to get a wrench in there to take em off. But we got her all did :waytogo:

    That looks pretty good, i just like some gap in between the tire and fender. To me that looks better and more lifted than a bigger tire crammed in there. Plus, i ain't supercharging it like you haha. I'd be pumped with just some nice aggressive looking 31's or 33's.

    then ya 33s would be good. the only time i rubbed after i trimmed was when it was flexing real good.
