    Ahh heck...That's what I figured... Well 33x11.50 it is I guess. How does 285/75/16 look with 4" backspace on a gen1?

    Just look at the build thread
    I'm not exactly sure what backspacing my wheels are but I'm running the stock wheels and rubbed like crazy without spacers. Now I'm running Spidertrax and only rub very little when I'm stuffed at full lock.

    It looks a little different now than the pictures in my build. I haven't updated that thing in a while. I'll try to get some new pictures of it soon.

    Is this good flex for a 3" lift?
    Front bilstein and Eibach coils
    Rear AAL w/bilstein
    This is maxed out. If I flexed any more the rear tire would come off the ground. Front sway bar IS connected!
    265/75/16 tires for stuffed reference.
    285/75/16 soon.

    Looks decent. Take off that sway bar and it'll flex more. I actually just put mine back on today :anonymous:

    That's my DD too so unless i get some quick disconnects I'm gonna leave the sway bar. I've heard some horror stories from friends about flipping when a car pulled out in front of him and he tried to swerve.

    If you know how to drive, sway bars make no difference at all.

    I drove to our deer lease with a bunch of weight in the bed of my truck. I was bro leaning pretty good. The handling was god awful, and now my sway bar is reinstalled so I can see about making some quick disconnects, and because I have no wheeling trips planned

    I know exactly what yall mean. I was mostly curious. Could I use some wing nuts on the stock bolts to make it quick disconnect? Also I'm looking for a 20" light bar to go in my lower valance. I can't afford the expensive ones. Are the ones on Amazon for $50-80 good enough? Thanks in advance!
