Congrats! It’s awesome when hard work (literally, that’s not light to pick up!) pays off!Update to my original post about the 35 Nitto trail grappler not fitting:
The guys at the shop didn’t try hard enough. After following the link someone posted, I was off to. It my solution... the rough country relocation bracket - but I read all comments, one guys comment stated “ordered, and returned, not needed on rubicon if u have steel bumper group!”
So I literally just went to my garage - and lifted this damn tire/rim combo myself and got it on the mount! The 35” is pretty heavy. I was very excited, I called my wife who was already asleep to tell her of my major feat! But it FITS stock, apparently not any rubi- only if u have steel bumper group. I will say it was very tight - a little rub - the tire resting on the bumper. So I Mcgruber’d the shit out of it (great movie btw) and deflated from approx 40psi to 18 psi - then gave her and the bumper some lube (tire wet) - now she opens and shuts smooth, no stick at all. Took a trip around the block - no squeaking or anything. Will report back after my run on i95 tomorrow at 80 mph - if there are any noises or rattles.
Bottom line - glad it fits, and seriously don’t mind that it’s barely resting on bumper - helps take a bit of the load - (pictured below - no pun intended)
