I need to get those rims soon. The 14 bolt is just waiting on one part, then it can go in. The spring plates should have been shipped here by now. I am sure glad that axle came with some roller tires.
RE: need space for tires, what
Somebody else work on my Jeep..... I have never heard of that...... :lol:
I totally agree with you on what you said about, "The best parts in the world can't make up for a crappy installer." I just wish the professional sprays weren't so much $$$. I would...
Here are some progress pics
Herculiner is a LOT cheaper, but it lives up to that name of being CHEAP!
I put it on during summer, and I prepped it really well. It is starting to come up in some spots.
Update: I bought the 39.5 x 18 x 15 Boggers. Now I am trying to decide which rims to go with. I know I am going black. Once you go black, you never go back. LOL
I wouldn't need to swap tires that often, much less ever. I will rarely be on the street. As far as finding another axle around here, trust me on this one, there are none. I have looked everywhere within a descent distance and I cannot find one.
I have some spacers for $100. That is a big difference rather than spending $500 plus shipping. The two axles should be about the same width when I am done. It is a 6 lug which really doesn't make a difference. Only problem I will run into is rotating tires. I have free access to a tire...
RE: tire choice for a tj
Oh, well I already started grinding the perch and housing down. That part is almost done. The Bluetorch Fab kit is a lot more than I am willing to spend. Shackle Reversal isn't that important.
Junkpile, If I have the rims custom made from Stockton, I will more than likely get 14" wide. 12" is the smallest I will go. I wonder if grinding the calipers will make a 15 incher fit.
I wouldn't really say that the Dana 44 is a full width axle...or is it? It is a 58" WMS axle. I wish I could have locally found a full width Dana 60 to match the rear 63" wms. :cry:
With a shackle reversal kit, will I have to get rid of my front bumper? I am looking into some kits. Which do you recommend for a really good price? I keep on seeing kits that matter which motor you have. I am not using a stock motor. What do I do about that?
Yeah, they look cool, but I still don't like the idea of going less than 10". Like I said before, I would love beadlocks, but I don't think cops like those too much, stupid if you ask me.
