They are Procomp 15x7's w/3.75"bs

And now, about those door handles.......This thing had alot of chrome on it when I bought it used. Took off and sold the brushguard and step rails, left the chrome grill overlay when I seen how scuffed the factory one was underneath, and the door handles are glued on or something, so those also stayed.

Looking good! You should update your sig so we know what size the tires are :) I'm thinking about duratracs for my next upgrade, but I'll have to take the plunge and go to 245/75R16 (with lift, pinch weld hammer, etc...)

Hey man, sweet KJ! I have a 2007. I was looking in buying the DuraTracs also in a 31x10.5R 15.. I believe that is the size you have. I have the Cragar D-window 15x7 4.0 inches of backspace. What kind of rubbing do you have, if any? I think I might have to trim a little more/less since my rims have more backspacing. I'm just trying to get a good idea since I'm putting in the Frankenlift Premium II soon, and I want to figure out everything I need. I hate last minute running around and decisions, especially since it is my daily driver. Definitely giving me a great idea as to how my truck is going to turn out. Any knowledge you can she is much appreciated. If you want you can check out a thread I had a little while back to get a better understanding.

Thanks again.

I have a very slight amount of rubbing still on the lower front fender lips/air dam that I'm just gonna leave it at that. Onto the rear pinch welds; I still have a bad rub in full-lock turns when the suspension cycles downward at the same time even after most was smashed flat already (all but the very top 1" of the seam), so there's a little more work to do there also.


A couple pics flexing things up on a little trail next to the house to see were the tires rub.

Hello,

I currently run Wrangler MT/Rs. They are super loud. Have you ever ridden in a Liberty with these tires?
If so how do they compare (noise wise) to your new Duratracs?
I really like the look of those and even if they are half as loud I'll swap the MT/Rs out for them!

Thanks in advance, Brian

Driving on the highways, they are only slightly more audible than the Firestone A/T's they replaced. Only time I really even notice them is in tiwsty turns on the local county roads where the tire rolls more on its sidewall, then you get a little bit of a MT sound. Bumps and road imperfections actually are reduced.........due I'm sure to the taller sidewall of the 15" vs. 16" rims.
