I love your 39" km3's load c with the kmc xd229 beadlocks. Are you running stock rubi 4.10s/axles/brakes? I ran those same wheels with 37x12.50 Pats Dec-March and wheels/tires weighed 120lbs ea(wheels 47lbs + tires 73lbs) and could really feel the added rolling mass accelerating/braking with the 6 speed and 4.10 gearing....also prefer the look of your taller/wider tire with 3.5 backspacing wheels...found a deal on Method nonbeadlocks(27lbs ea) with 4.75 backspacing and sold the KMC's for more than I paid.(definitely miss the look of the kmc wheels) Planning to regear to 5.13 in the next 6 weeks. How does your setup ride? BFG claims the 39s weigh 89lbs ea and I wondered what a 135lb wheel/tires drive like? How tall do the tires measure on the jeep? My previous 35" BFG's were smaller than other 35s and I figured the 39" BFG's are prob about the same size as the 38" Pats. Thanks for your feedback.I’ve only played with it briefly on the forklift. We’ll see what the real world flexing shows me.
As for the front, I can tell you it there will be no need to do any trimming with the AAL setup in the front. There is just tons of room up there.
In the rear, I have not done anything yet. I still need to split the flares and get rid of the liner. That is in progress, just waiting on AAL rear liners. We were into the bump stops hard and only had slight contact with the liner. Additionally I may have to trim the rear pinch seam just slightly... waiting to see.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
