But it does look real good on 37's it. Looks proper! I need to figure out how to clear the inside lower so I can steer 95-100% on street or mild trails.. im ok when flexed to steer 75-90% if I can get that considering the big tires. It'll help with not busting axle shafts as easy

 

Probably on 35s. I have dreams of 37s but I want to steer at full stuff. I'm also startled of breaking stuff. Gears and LT shafts are expensive. If I were you yeah I'd try the 2" spacers. See if that changes any tire position?

 

If youre going with 35's you'd have plenty of clearanve to chop like I did! The way I did the chop works best with 1.5" wheel spacers on a 4.5" backspace wheel

(1) first step before any cutting is to rotate the mount to get the bolt out of the way. (I have not seen anyone yet do this) but makes total sence

(2) I used cut off wheels on a grinder, first cut the botom half to have access to the top half then the second uper half which is right through the old nut thay help the mount

(3) trace out the hole that you have, trace it out on a plate, cut it and weld it up

Note: the only sugestion is what I eant to do now to get more room is right at the bushing turn and cut a little more off the inside edge. I want to cut the big washer on the bottom flush in a strait line at the edge of the mount and get closer to the mount. I realized after doing the chop that the mount is metal on the outside edge and does not move so the plate you weld can be right against it

Edit: I ordered a relocation mount to clear my 37's but before I install it I will try to modify my original chop to see if anyone wants to just chop what the most you can take out of it.

 

Got a one piece driveshaft made and installed it last tuesday, because the stock one took a shit. I highly recommended it

 

question, since youre the only one i could find to run 35's w/o an offroad bumper (which is the route im going to take) when you trimmed the fenders, do you trim the actual fenders and the fender flares?
