How many inches of clearance do you get under the rear axle diff now?

Next is the crossmember which is 16.5in

No matter how high you lift the Jeep, only thing that gives you more axle clearance is the tires. You can have a 12” lift and stock tires, and it will look like a roller skate with the same clearance as stock. Luckily, yours looks a hell of a lot better than a roller skate ?

Yea I wasn’t expecting this much of a lift. It’s @Craigger takeoffs XR

Looks great either way. I pursued those wheels too but can’t complain about the wheels I got because I paid 300 bucks for all 5 in the boxes. They were discontinued and some random company was selling them off so I got em for $60 each ??

what skid plates have you decided on?

I went with Rusty’s engine skid plate. It’s a start since I’m covered in other sections.
next step is a bumper and winch and more trail time

Nice, Rusty’s stuff is good stuff, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. More trail time is the most valuable thing you can do. Mods help with confidence but nothing like seat of the pants time.

You’ve got ‘forward compatibility’ when you start eying 37’s ?

I think you got a nice combo of clearance and articulation with @SadRobot ’s 35’s and @Craigger ’s XR kit. ?

Nice. Planning to drive through Palomar/Julian next Sunday 1/7 for some pizza and beer in the snow If anyone is interested.

There’s an F150 cruising around your area with them too. I’ve seen it a few times between there and Chino, always see some lady driving it. I did a triple take the first time I saw it, I had never seen another person with these wheels before.

Theyre Americas Tires wheels. Theyre on the website, or were.

That makes sense, I’ve never been to a brand name tire shop before so I had no clue ?
