thanks for the words of encourgement!!

I guess I will have to just drive straight.

They are being installed right now!
I have read post where that size tire and brand works fine on some stock jeeps.
Others say they rub.

Maybe is will just have to let the air out :)

Tell the truth, You just had to give yourself a reason to put on a lift didnt you?

And Welcome...where you from?

They fit!! and look awesome.
I will post pics later.
Full lock... slight rub at pinch weld. Alottle grinding would solve that.

Not sure If I will get a lift yet. Not needed unless I am doing some wheelin.

Don't grind the pinch weld off(could have possible unibody seperation problems),simply cut the plastic liner away and hammer it down with a BFH.Then coat it with spray paint or rubberized undercoating.

Cut the plastic around the pinchweld and pound it over flat, you don't want that pinchweld chewing up your new ties.
