    FINALLY got some new tires put on. And it's a world of a difference. 295/75/16 BFG AT. They do rub on the UCA a touch at full lock so I think I might need some small spacers, but I'll see all that tomorrow when I cycle it. Who should I look into for small spacers?

    Need some more photos as well cause this doesn't do it justice!

    Really? Any issues yet? Any vibes while driving from them not being true? Seems like it's going to be a guessing game as to how big of spacers I will need. Do you know of any trick to get the correct spacing?

    Lmao!! My dad laughed at me when I told him I had to beat that pinch weld flat with a bfh. He just said with a smile, have fun!

    Doesn't rub full cycle with no weight. It's so damn close. Think I need spacers?

    Man, I've got about 1mm clearance at the top here at full lock. Cutting it close.

    Took care of the pinch welds with these trusty tools couldn't find my sledge. :)

    Now I just need to borrow a dremel from someone and cut this little corner and everything should clear just fine!

    New meats are looking BEEFY! I'm contemplating on going 305s and trimming my fenders for the 34" tires. Do you have any plans for fender trimming?

    and if you are that close at full lock without weight you are for sure gonna rub your UCA when flexing and loaded down on the trail. I would look into getting some small spacers for the front. just my $0.02

    No didn't need your hammer, that axe took care of them pretty quickly. Thanks though. The first side took forever, but the second side went so quick! It was actually pretty refreshing beating the shit out of my truck with an axe! :rofl:

    Thanks man! Yeah they are sooooooo much meaner than what I had on there before. I love them so far!! I can't stop staring at the truck! haha.

    Yeah, I'm pretty settled on the fact that I will need some spacers up front. I just can't figure out how big of spacers I should go with. Seems like all I can do is guess how much the the tire will compress and rub?? Spacers in general don't site well with me, so I'd like to get the smallest size possible to clear these tars......Any suggestions?

    Oh, and I definitely need to trim the fender a tad to get them to clear. Going to trim the bottom corner of the fender just to they clear, but in the end I want to trim the whole fender a bit along with the fender flare so I can put the flare back on. Like MrMcgrimm and others have done. Since I've got a trip coming up real soon I'll just be riding flareless for now though

    Yeah Mr. Grimm trimmed a TON off his fenders, not sure on his exact numbers but something like 4+" all around. I was thinking of doing 2" for all 4 corners to clear for 34" tires. Not sure on the smallest spacers but the smallest I think I have seen are 0.75" but I could be way off on that :notsure:
