    Yes, but if they are stock springs you will lose the lift.

    Okay I plan on running 255/75/17 so if they look too small I'll probably drop in down

    So update I got the new tires on and I'm really enjoying not bouncing around, and hearing loud road noise.

    BUUUUT i decided to try them out in some moderate snow about 4-6in and drove about 100 yards, then when I got stuck in 2wd was gonna use 4wd to get out......as soon as I start backing up to turn around my passenger side cv axle on the diff side decides to grenade. I had to call my best bud to come pull me back to pavement and called a tow truck to get home since the damn thing was flopping all around and lost all the bearings and whatnot.

    So replaced with a Napa cv axle today was about an hour job as stated. I checked the bilsteins and I can't see what perch setting I'm at so I'm gonna leave them where they are at until I want to do an alignment after new upper BJ and replace the driver half shaft.

    OT question are the CV axles the same part on both sides?

    Long time since an update, started running some falken wildpeak at3w @ 255/80r17 (awesome tire wear & grip but really stiff sidewalls only running @20ish psi)

    Installed some JBA UCAs (just recently swapped to their newer style ball joint because the old style grease cups were terrible.)

    Put an add-a-leaf in the back to get it level with the fronts and installed new 5100s in the rear.

    The front coilovers are actually pro-crap explorers with some unknown spring so that's the next step in the build/maintenance schedule.

    Truck is now paid off so I can actually do some mods too (starting with rock sliders probably)
