Who told you you could run a 32 inch tire with that lift? I think you'll need at least 2.5 inches and a bunch of mods. The 3.5 Rock Krawler kit says 32s can be ran with mods, 31s are recomended.

I'm running LT235/85R16 MTR's 32" dia. with a 4" custom lift and hit a tad when wheeling. These are the maximum dia. I can go. I have 5mm wheel spacers and on the RTI ramp the corner of the rear tire just misses the wheel flare before going in the pocket. I don't know how your going to stuff your tire in articulating with 1.5" spacers? Jeepin' Al runs 33"s but he has a 5.5" custom lift. Joe

what should I torque these things to when I put them on? It says I should put them on and torque to factory specs then drive around and do it again. Any opionions? |

Our lug nut specs are 90 -110 ft. lbs. I beleive. Most everyone just torques to 100 ft. lbs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. 
Running 265/75/16 TrXus M/T's, without wheel spacers. |

Joe Jeeper, where did you get the 5mm spacers. I'm running stock size tires with a Daystar lift, and when fully flexing I have a little bit of room in the back. I'm pretty sure the 1.5-2.0 inch spacers would be too much but a 5mm to 10mm would be ok. |

My 31s are more like 30.7"x9.8". They're on my stock Limited alloy rims, BS of 5.5". I installed the 1.25" wheel spacers from Spidertrax front and rear and now I have no rubbing (it feels good to say that). Now the rims BS is 4.25". The rear stuffs perfectly; the tire stuffed fits almost flush to the flare, but still not touching. The front spacers allow me to do a u-turn once again. Overall, I love them, and the KJ's stance looks so much more aggressive, especially now that you can see the M/T tread much more easily. My tires are pretty worn, so I imagine my next set-up (31"x10.3" Interco LTBs) will rub at least a little. I'm sure I'll find a use for the dremel then. |

My 29.5" tires rub with my front Rustys lift. My rims have 5" BS. I would say that you will be doing some cutting with 4.00 BS.

I think 4.0-4.5" BS is optimal if you want full flex, which you can get with 31s but not so much with 32s (with 2.5" lift). I think it's more logical to move your tires out and possible cut your plastic flares rather than keep a higher backspacing like 5.5" and possibly need to cut into metal, something I wouldn't like doing. With my 31s I get full flex, no rubbing, and I don't need rear bumpstops it seems. I mean, yes, I could get them, but it wouldn't stop any rubbing cause there isn't any. Here's something I want to know...does anyone with 32s, I mean a true OD tire of >31" actually get full flex with their 2.5" lift? Normally when I see pics of people's KJs with 32s on this forum, and their rear tire is stuffed and obviously rubbing, it seems to limit the amount the other side can droop...? |

I'm currently torquing my lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs. I used to only go to 95 ft.lbs. Joe

i go with 100lbs as well.. and i have 1.25 spidertrax spacers on a stock renny.. and they rubbed the pinch weld and front of inner frender.. i was creative with my fix.. i'll post pictures soon. i put them on because i have plans of 265/75/16's when i get the frank-lift! from what i've read on this site .. that will make it not rub on the sway bar. that black liberty a few comments up is beautiful.. just what im after!

I have stock 235 70R16 wheels now, would spacers make some rubbing issues? Stephen |
