I hope not. No matter though, still waiting for more parts from Sarah.

 

Actually, I'm serious. If your 285's rub now, they will rub when your suspension cycles.

 

the 285s aren't mounted yet. still have the 265s on. I wanna get all my parts before doing any type of installing. Do um all one time.

 

You can mock the tire in front of the one currently installed to eyeball the difference... Just to get an idea

 

if you install 285's without a lift, you will most likely rub during suspension travel...even with UCA's with a higher caster

 

What's the specs on your wheels?

 

Chad...Order the CMC plates. You're gonna rub garuns. Maybe not too bad on the street, but off-road it's gonna be chewing your fenders and rub the CM. I have 275/70 (33") and had to do the CMC. plenty clearance now, but the fenders were still hitting the tire edges. I trimmed some more...

 

He get procomp 17x9 i think

 

Pro comp 16x8. lol, you forget already, hahaha,, I picked up the tires from you...

 

Will do. BTW, who can do the cutting and welding for the CMC? No welding machine here. And who best to order the CMC plates from?

 

I have a decent mig that I'm moderately decent at running

 

not sure how many of you are mod-n00bs like me, but I just saw this dremel on Amazon for $29:

Got my plates from BAMF. Ordered and received within 4 days via USPS priority. Was like $20 bucks. If you have access to a grinder it worked for me. Wasn't that hard at all. Just scribe or mark the area to cut, use all the proper safety gear and let the sparks fly!! First side took over an hour. Second side (because I was pumped with confidence) took less than 30 minutes.

 

MAJOR FAIL Should've known better. Bought a Bak Flip F1 cover from Truck & Jeep fest. It was supposed to take 3-4 weeks. Yesterday I called that "expletive shop" in Waipahu and they gave me a run-around and updated me with: "I don't even see it in the system". Sigh...so sad and now I want my refund but they're giving me a lot of flak

 

Was it an amazing deal? If not, I would try get my money back. Unless it was coming in soon. Sorry to hear about that.

 

Do you have a receipt? Get your money back and try calling the guys over at AutoAnything. They seem to give a good deal with shipping on that brand.

 

I usually only use mine on high speed. I would just buy whatever attachment you need for your specific job. The only thing I use is the cutting wheels and some grinding bits.

 

probably right. I just ordered the dremel itself. I mainly wanted it so I could try a mesh grill myself

 

They just called me last night to say my tires and leaf springs are in. Did you try all of the numbers on your invoice? Mine they can never find by phone number, but the invoice number usually works...
