That down travel is insane my friend! I'm surprised the shocks are not limiting the down travel and matching up closer to expanded spring length(ie. keeping them in there perches)?
Anyone know if a 3.5" MC spring would have a longer expanded length?
I think your limiting strap setup will work...
It sure is!!! I was trying to rush through that post...duh!
Sorry to be posting bad intel😳😃

My mistake, I thought you were on the KM3's. I'll measure both the tire size and rack height when I get home. I'll get back to you today.

Are you running the 3.6L/Auto?
I'm running 4:88's with the 37" Nittos (they run a little closer to stated size) and it's very close to what my Jeep felt like with the stock 33's and 4:10's. I think the 5:13's would be great, maybe even 4.88's?
Can you measure your new 38"KM3's just as a...
On the topic of my Expedition One roof rack, I need to mention the build quality on it.
The finish still looks like I just installed it even after a couple of salty Chicago winters and a lot of use. I can't say that about every aftermarket manufacturers finish I've used on my Jeeps. Expedition...
Thanks kubicon, appreciate that!
Yup, it's still true. She's built to cruise the interstate at 85mph, with my wife comfortable behind the wheel.
With gas prices where they are, I try not to push the brick through the wind that fast very often ;)...
If you don't already have this, I would suggest getting a copy of the Charles A. Wells 'Guide to Moab'. It's been invaluable keeping us on the trail, some of which can only be found via odo readings, etc..
It's also great to have the trails rated so you can work your way up as your experience...
This trip itinerary will work well for a stock Jeep. Top of the World is a great trail with the huge payout of view and pic opportunity at the top. We ran that trail at this Springs EJS. We had a couple of stock Jeeps in our group that did fine on 35's. If you do this trail, don't come down the...
That's Moab, the buggies can really chuck out some trails. We ran TOTW trail on the first Sunday of the week. Our trail gunner mentioned he thought the trail rating on TOTW should be a '7 now'. It's keeps it interesting for us right?
Appreciate your support brother✌🏻...
I thought it looked familiar, as we ran it at EJS this spring. The backside was getting pretty chucked out right?
