I'm very happy with the fit. I will need to move my front axle forward a couple of inches, but other than that I shouldn't have any issues. The tires measure 37.5" installed.

Here's a comparison to my old 37" MT/Rs...

Looks awsome! Can you do a width comparison photo?

John's Jeep looks great with the new tires

Doesn't look much wider than before since he went with a 4.5 inch back spacing. We will need to move the front axle forward about 1 1/2 to 2 inches and trim just a little off the rear fenders. It wont take anywhere near as much work as I thought it would...... :beer:

Rob, can you post some photos of the front end work you do? I'd like it for reference when I need to move mine forward. Is it as simple as extending the lower control arms?

The only reason I can stretch my front end a bit is because I have room. My drag link sweeps back a couple of inches. I can push the axle out until the drag link is parallel with the axle.

I will also be trimming the rear wheel openings to allow more room to stuff. I might put some bump stops in the rear since I don't currently run any. If I need more room than that, I can high-line the fenders. All doable and cheap. I will probably line the tub if I can get the stuff from Keane.

Now the hard part is trying to decide what color to paint the Jeep? :mrgreen:

And nobody noticed that I washed my Jeep :oops:

I also primered the heavy scratches. Now I'm going over it with some matching paint. Then I'll paint the tubes and wheel wells black. My Jeep will look presentable once again...
