Assfrow, Yokramer, and Remorseless's Circle jerk thread

[Mustapha Mond]

Better commit to more than 0 offset while youre at it.

I'm a bit worried about that, but we'll see. I have access to a tire machine now, so it won't cost me anything to mount the tires up and get a feel if I want to go for it or not. I got good enough deals on the wheels and tires, I am not too worried about losing money if I need to sell it all and go another direction. I am pretty sure 37s will work on my setup as-is, so I am hoping 39s won't require that many more changes. Famous last word before the snow ball starts rolling...

I am more committed than most, but not fully committed either...

I guess how committed is "more committed"? Cause like, 2.5" spring on a JL is still pretty low compared to an older Jeep. I'm running a 2.5" 4 door spring (yields about 3" lift on a 2 door), and I see only about 16"ish to the t-case skid (albeit with 37s, add an inch for 39s), so it's not a horribly tall Jeep. And a 2.5" spring is pretty bog standard on the JL platform and works into the 38/39" tire range and still feels quite "low" relative to older Jeeps and 4x4s.

on 9" -12 offset 4.5" backspace Methods I rubbed 315s pretty good on stock Rubi suspension with chopped fenders and the motobilt high clearance fenders in the front and HARD on the motobilt standard ones in the rear, 37s on stock suspension I have a feeling I would have had to cut a bit to clear them from the pinch welds.

When I did the RK 2.5" lift and got 3.5" I stopped rubbing the 315s and didnt touch at all on my 37s on the one shake down run but I didnt get into any real rocks.

That's pretty much the standard formula right there - gut the fenders (achieved with your KBDs and MotoBilt liners), 2.5"ish spring, whatever links you like, and trim the rear pinch seam. Just make sure wheel offset is right and run a with a short enough shock body and you're good. Most folks end up in the 2-3" of bump range depending on tolerance for rubbing and how close to true size the tire is.

If youre willing to do the 2-2.5" of lift then yea running the 39s will be just fine especially with your current fender/liner setup. Reading through it felt more like you wanted to not do any lift and just run them with some cutting and shock package.

You may still need a further offset wheel but trying it out with the 0s wont hurt anything except maybe very limited steering kits.

Easiest (not cheapest) way for large tires with a stock suspension/body/axles, portals. Easiest way for large tires and low center of gravity, modified fenders.

The hang up with doing just fenders at stock XR height is the up travel. Hard to keep up travel without at least a little lift above XR.

Or just making the bump stops less than 3' in length.

I personally wouldn’t put 39s-40s on anything less than 2.5”lift , but that’s just me…..

You don't wanna be like Jeep and have your concept running 42s sitting on the bump stop at ride height?

@Mustapha Mond Love this thread, that's how I'm trying to build mine, minimal lift. 35s now and want 37s....maybe later...so much stuff to buy and modify. First post, your picture is missing.

@Remorseless Sweet Jeep, thanks for posting pic with specs!

Forgot to say, portals are a hard pass, expensive and I've seen and heard too many trail fails with them....no thanks.

Was it 42? I thought it was just 40s
