Adjusted the fronts to fit my new BIGGER tires.

The ride is so smooth it is not even funny!

Oh the rear almost don't fit. I can't even get a finger in between that diagonal brace to the rear axle.

The front are rubbing but not sure on what as it is only while driving at FULL lock.

It is SEXY! :BANANA:

My wife want to know when can she drive it. :JEEPIN:

Fronts is adjusted to 22.5" center of wheel to bottom of fender. (Full droop is 24.25" without tires)
Rears sit at 22-5/8" center of wheel to bottom of fender. (Full droop is 26.25" without tires)

And it only cost a few :2cents:

The tires were a steal! out the door 5 tires only $1023 :shock:

to see what it is rubbing on do what i did... take some sidewalk chalk and cover the inner wheel wheel as best as you can... take it for a drive ( do full lock , flex, obstacles, fast turns etc)... then bring her home and see where the chalk is missing... works like a charm... as a note... obviously don't hit any puddles or get the wheel well wet as this will wash away your chalk :lol:

Front is likely rubbing on the sway bar at full lock with the stock wheels, that's where my 245-75 R16's rub. So I imagine your wider tires will rub a bit more there.

Yes sway bar so far...

you think a 33 will fit? looks like it might but its kinda tight around the hitch. i think if the hitch wasnt there it would fit alright. might ditch mine and just pick up a rear tow hook.

The other side is right against the frame with just a little bit of room, not much more than 1/8". Lets just say it SQUEEZED up with a few sounds and helpful pushes. Before that I tired to lift it to the roof to test how this would be and LOL its not as easy. My wife says just get it up to the front bumper and roll it up and over the hood and up the windshield. Or Tire Gate makes this great tire rack that goes into the hitch with a an additional hitch $700

Installed a simple tool kit for the bikes.

I do alot of mtn/cc biking in the summer, so this worked out really clean.
