Im buying that exact setup minus the 31inch tires and the clevis / strut plate. Im going with 245/75/16 soft 8s and Wrangler duratrac's. I have one question, would I need to smash down the pinch welds for 245/75/16 duratrac tires? Btw, looks awesome!

exsystem, I was wondering if you had regeared or not. If you havent, how sluggish is the jeep now and off are the shifts with that big of a tire and not doing the regear?
