any rubbing at all :?:

From what my buddy says it rubs at 3/4 turn. I am not there to look and see as i am deployed out to sea. But return in August.

looks great.. those tires are sick! i bet they'll really sling the mud

Awesome choice. The tires are sweet. They do sling mud like a mother, crawl over any rock you put in front of it, and they perform really well on the streets for such an aggressive tire. Couldn't be happier with mine. :twisted:

Looks great, I'd love to see a front on pic to see how far out they are sticking.

Love the look of black wheels with that brown desert color.

Yep those Trxus MT's are good tires,just don't air down past 10psi without beadlocks,they don't like that low of psi without being locked to the rim.

I was actually at 12psi then in MOAB but going 15mph on Kane's Creek didn't help keep the bead seated,it's happened to me before at 10-12psi on other trails at much lower speeds also,getting all those rocks in the bead does wonders for keeping air in the tires :twisted:

.No problems if left at 15-16psi or higher.They wrap nicely around rocks at 15psi as seen in the pic below.

Do you have spacers on there or is all of that in the backspacing?

Looking at the hubs through the rims it appears as if there are spacers behind there.

Looks awesome by the way!!

wont those just rip off his flares sticking out so far beyond them?? rubbing at only 3/4 turn?? how do they stuff? I can't imagine they will fit back under the wells as is. let us know.

Front View

the backspacing is between 3.45 and 4, i cant remember.
I think it still has my 1.5 spacers on too, I can't confirm as i am deployed to the Gulf.

Jeepjeepster · **Posted:** Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:16 pm

Looks awesome but if those spacers are still on I would take them off for sure.

You will probably need some extended bumpstops too.

ok heres the thing- you do not need and spacers kit on the 15x8 cragar wheels if you have a 4" BS. they will clear the calipers. trust me on this. these are the rims that i have. and if you have them on, as stated before, take them off. i know you cant personally, but have someone do it. you will rip your studs off, if not strip them and you dont want that.

also i have noticed that with the same lift that everyone else has, and with my tires set up as being 31-11.50-15, i have some stupid wheel gap between the tires and flares. up and down is what im talking about. everyone here must have shorter springs or someting but it seems to me that my KJ sits alot higher then most. someone please correct me if i am wrong (by photo comparison), but i dont think i am. as i have done the comp myself in the last few days. if you guys need more pics of a level side view, please lt me know and it'll happen. i'll post them here and you guys can figure it out.
