    That guy has spindles adding to the width. Kit is only 4.5 over.

    Gotcha gotcha, makes sense. It looks a little silly against the rear track width but not my truck, not my taste.

    I know their arms state its a 4.5" added width which I kind of like especially running the wide body fenders. I am going thinking about going through Bilstein and getting custom long travel coil overs cause I am currently running the 8112s and 8100s and love those things!

    Actually it's something else since I think he's 4x4 - wheel spacers plus low backspacing but the kit is only 4.5 over for sure.

    It's good stuff. Brandon (the owner) is on here sometimes but calling him is a good way to get ahold of him and / or instagram. High quality.

    Oh that's even better ! Yeah I just got to recoup my finances from my last purchase then this will definitely be next in line! I think I should be ordering these bad boys hopefully this upcoming month and really look forward to seeing how they look! Best part is they're pretty local !

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    I have Bobby’s 4.5 kit in 4wd and with 3.5bs on 35x12.50R17

    mine measures 95” at the outside edge of the tires

    obviously I haven’t driven mine
    But just base impressions it’s not as wide as people would think/expect mental picture wise

    Yeah it's just an inch over 3.5 - not as big of a difference as tire and wheel width and offset would make going from stock wheels w/ 33's to 35's on 9" wide wheels with low backspacing.

    I almost went with the BTF kit but didn't want to deal with the stock lbj of the first gen trucks so I got the Solo xlt.

    Yeah I honestly like the 4.5 I’m 2wd so it does me good too cause I don’t have to worry about extended axles or anything like that I love the look and just seems like great quality

    Yeah they are just the default gray color JD makes them with. I didn’t specify any specific PC option.
