Yep 31x10.5x15s. They look alittle smaller after I cut my wheel well line out and bedlined then cut the flares up 1.5inches. "Couldn't stand the rubbing" unfortunately those pictures were old archive. The jeeps been on jack stands for three weeks now. I just couldn't resist carving that pumpkin :wink:

cut wheel well liners out then hammered pinch weld. used Bondo to smooth out the surface over the pinched welds sanded then rolled hurculiner bed liner over everything three times. cut fenders with razor blade and a rubber mallet then sanded the ends " still cleaning up the edges a little.
after my driver side cv overextended i decided to run pro-comp limiting straps with adjustable clevis down to the bottom clevis fork bolt. considering where i bolted the clevis for the strap i decided to reinforce the backing with a 8th in plate so it doesnt buckle the metal in the wheel well if stressed to much. so far im running my frankenlift premium II with a jba top plate and 3 clevis rings on the bottom. hope these pictures do justice. :JEEPIN:

Great pictures! Thanks for the info on the limiting straps also!

Oh and I also have the rro adventure rack, but I can't tell in the above picture if are you using the u-bolt attachments that came with the rack?

Yeah procomp 18in single ply limiting straps. Btw. If anyone plans to run straps. Don't do weld on tabs. This will make the 3rd time I've tightend the clevis up because of stretching. Im not sure if it was because I ran cheaper straps of if that's just normal.
