I've thought about going with 32x10.5x16 with just a 2" BB.

Stability is fine. I've driven 250 highway miles in the last 2 days.

Anyone else notice the "phantom inch" in the OP? Must be floating an inch above the seat with joy!

looks awesome dogblue!! i have somewhat the same setup. 33x10.5x15 bfg at, 2"bb, 1.25 jks bl, 1" mml. runs great (except for the RE shocks - TERRIBLE!!!) decided to go your route with the SJ Hydros.
looks great!

I have the same jeep stock tire and sup.. Your looks great how dose it do on the trail.

RUBtjICON · 03-07-2008, 11:52 PM

I think I still prefer a wider tire. My 31x10.50's look funny sitting under my Rubicon flares now.

Off topic - How do you like those round eyes?

stevenr · 04-23-2008, 09:27 AM

how in the world do you get that gas mpg. i have the same set up but with an LJ. that just may be the reason i only get 12.5 .

I call BS on the full turn... Sorry man, don't believe it. I have 2" BB, 1.25"BL w/31x10.5 on stock wheels and they rub control arms at full lock. .25 extra bb isn't gonna make that much difference. Something doesn't add up...

Nice rig...however, with a title like that I was expecting to see the wife dancing around the pole in the second pic....I'm sure the guys wouldn't mind hahaha!

It'll look better after you take off the side steps.

I love them. Direct replacement, no upgraded wiring harness needed, good cut off, much brighter output, no sloppy fit like IPF housings, 100% legal in all 50 states, replaceable bulbs, and only $100.

I get the mph in question by driving it. Seriously, you have a wider tire than me and the LJ is a little heavier than the TJ. Combine that with the standard mpg inconsistency between jeeps, and you're not far off. BTW, I stated that this was done on the interstate with the cruise on. I am sure my mpg is lower while driving in town.

And what exactly would be my motivation for lying? What purpose does it serve for me to provide erroneous information?

Fact: At full turn, I have 1.5" clearance on the passenger's side.
Fact: At full turn, I have 2.0" clearance on the driver's side.

Maybe if you ask nice instead of calling BS, I will tell you how I did it. Here's a hint, I did not use wheel spacers.

Okay, I'll tell you. Simple, I added 2 washers behind each steering stop. Also, my BB is 2.25" and yours may actually be 1.75", although it's commonly referred to as a 2" BB. Anyway, that would make the lift difference 1/2". I honestly don't know if the extra 1/2" would make much difference. However, assuming the 1/2" is negligable, our tire section widths are identical, our wheel backspacing is the same, and our steering stops were set exactly the same at the factory, then the only significant change I did was the washers. In reality, every Jeep is different. This set up worked for me. You may need to add 3 washers for your Jeep, or you may need spacers. Again, every Jeep is a little different.

Thank you. As for the pole, my wife almost walloped me upside the head for blowing the tax refund without asking her. That's the maddest I've seen her in 14 years!

I agree. I had them off for a while, but with a short wife and 3 little kids, the climbing in and out got really old. The steps are back on, except when I go wheeling.

You know she is gonna spend the entire tax return next year on clothes for her and the kids, Your lucky if you get a sixpack of lager until then.

You still sleeping on the couch?
