Not a real Jeeper until you've staged your new tires like this!

Seeing parts sitting in boxes that cost more than the Jeep has been driving me crazy. So I had to do it for inspiration purposes.

Looks like they're gonna rub....

Are you running the bushwhacker hyperforms?

Are you running the bushwhacker hydroforms?

Surely you’re changing axles correct?

 

[CaliSpecial]

Probably going to need a lift?

 

[TX_Ovrlnd]

Send it! Those axles will be screaming lol!

 

[Mr. Curti]

It will be lifted. The axles will be swapped. It will have a real roll cage. It’ll have beadlocks and all the goodies to get someone out of trouble if it occurs. And I can assure everyone that it will be done correctly. This project is long overdue and has been more frustrating than I would have ever expected.

Ah, yes - with the exception of some mounting hw they are the same, and owned by the same parent company.

[Mr. Curti]

Probably not a long term solution. Once they are destroyed, I’ll be looking at other alternatives. Yet for now I’m wanting to keep a somewhat factory look.

I like the max clearance and coverage with s near stock look. I actually like the look in front better than stock, but can't speak to durability as I don't yet have s set.

I'm hoping my ED on 42's will be done in the next few weeks! So pumped as I imagine you are! I went with custom built dynatracs at 74.5" wide.

When you feel the thickness and rigidity of the factory finder’s vs the Rugged Ridged finder’s, you can see a noticeable difference. Factory will last a lot longer. But the Rugged Ridged will allow for slightly more clearance.. which is why I went with them. Plus, I agree with you, they look better.
