New rims and tires...

Tx_Yj · 12-09-2005, 08:31 PM

New to the board and want to get my post count up and share some pics at the same time. If someone could repost so they show up that would be awesome.

The day after I got her home.

About two weeks later. Did the SOA in one long Day/Night. Axles were already set up. Got the windows tinted also.

Now with the 35's and Bling Bling Rims. She really wants to go crawl up something. Dont have pics but i flexed it out on a freight lift at work to see how bad it would rub. Bumpstops need to be extended just a little.

Front stinger bumper, rear tire carrier, and rocker guards are next on the neverending list.

Looks good.

Instead of limiting travel through the bumpstops, have you thought about maybe installing a set of TJ flares (more wheelwell clearance), or possibly a 1" bodylift?

The TJ flares give you over 1" of extra room, and the 1" bodylift...gives you 1" extra inch of room.

Personally, I'd do the TJ flares. I did it on my old '89 YJ. Nice difference.
If you go to the Projects section of this forum, do a search for my write-up.

The springs go to neg. arch when it flexes. Ill sacrifice the extra travel to make the springs last a little longer by extending the bumpstops. In stock configuration the bumpstop hits the axle tube. Now that its SOA the bump will hit the spring plate because the axle has been moved. ill either add metal to the spring plate or put some under the stock bumpstop if i want to go cheap, otherwise, i want to get some competion style ones made for the yj. A body lift and tj flares are definately on my wish list.
