40'S on your JL

[Dkramer807]

Fox and yes on 4:10. Honestly the Jeep doesn't even know it has 40s on it. Drives and wheels like stock.

How much did you have to lengthen the drive shafts? Jeep looks awesome!

Thx, I have no ideal how much longer than stock, I just pulled measurements and had them maid.

Wow, that looks real nice!

So what size lift are you running?.. lol

We did complete it, Cooper SST Pro 40x13.50x17s. Machetes beadlocks, 5" custom spun dual rate springs, All 8 Core 4x4 tier 5 control arms, Johnnies on both ends, Chromemoly trackbars, Fabricated sway bar links, Adams driveshafts.

Looks awesome! I just picked up a set of 40" tires, just trying to figure out what wheels to get(Should not have sold my XD Machete's)
Can you tell me how much clearance you have at full lock on the frame and grill? I'm trying to go with a slightly less aggressive offset beadlock, but I'm concerned the tire will touch the frame at full lock. I don't mind trimming the grill if need be, but won't chop up the frame.

Thanks

Mine touch nothing if you go with more backspacing than 3.5" you will have issues.

Thanks, that's what I was worried about. Is it possible to measure or take a picture of how much clearance you have at the frame at full lock? I'm not too concerned about the grill/fenders etc....

Here is ours. Dynatrac xd60/ pro rock 80 combo, 5.38s and arb lockers, 2.5" Rock Krawler lift, kmc wheels and nitto 40s.

I'm looking at ordering XD60 combo and running 40's as well on a 3.5" lift. Can you tell me what width axles you installed, wheel backspace/size and outside tire to outside tire width please? I've been toying with going 72.5" axle with 5.5"BS on 40/13.5 tires. Short term may run the stock axles with 3.5"BS, wondering the overall width difference.

Shad over at Crawler Conceptz showed up at EJS this year with 40s on his JL. He abused them all week long and never had any issues.

Doubt the stock axles will hold for very long, but it was fun to see him gettin' it.

You can do that when you own the shop LOL I can't afford to tear my stuff up like that I'm still making payments and having to buy that stuff retail I wouldn't be able to afford to fix it LOL

 

[Jammer]

Nice! What shocks are you running? You still have 4.10s in it?

That is so badass I wish I could do 40s I just can't afford to put new axles like I said earlier and eventually I would have to

I have 5 40 inch Milestars sitting in the shop. The jeep arrived Monday. I want to put some miles on it, check for bugs, prior to voiding the warranty.

Im debating going to 40s but concerned about the drive shaft length. Currently running 37s with 2 inch Mopar lift. Any recommendations would be appreciated..

Lots of people are running 38.5 tires with stock axles and loving it. If you're only 1.5 inches away from 40s why have to go the route of new axles just for an inch and a half taller on tires. That to me is a wasteúí

looks like that light bar says RC which is the Rough Country 50 inch light bar is that right?l What brackets did you use to mount it with what company is it ?
