anyone have this set up? need a new pair cant pass up the offer $300 for 4 bfg 35x12.50x15 m/t. does anyone know if they will fit on some steelies 10.50 and 3.75 backspace?


my xj also has 4.5" rough country lift

thanks

 

You gonna have to trim your fenders.....a good bit.

 

they should be good on anything between 8.5 and 11 inch rims

 

thats an understatment..... if you wheel it hard you may want to pass that up or look into some good bump stops

 

not really wheeling it too hard just light to moderate mudding and easy trails. Its not moab, but im thinking it might be okay. Im not quite sure how far i would have to trim the fenders probably a good bit. Also the rubbing when in flex, might make for concern.


it has stock bump stops on it now so would it be hard on them?

 

As long as it isnt going to laugh at me, i should probably throw a 4.11 or higher gear in it? trim the fenders obviously, and do the bumpstops im in for it

 

one thing to take into consideration is just because the tire say 35 they all dont measure 35 inches tall my bfg alltyerrain kos were 33 and the measured 33 i had 6.5 inches of lift im not a fender trimmer

 

yes that is very true. I would think bfg says what it says but you never know what you get. My only problem is i dont want a money pit! I already put a 4.5 lift kit, trying to make homebrew stuff, & junkyard parts. My fear is if i do this, i will snap a driveshaft or have to get a SYE. IF i get the 35's i can trim the fenders & bumpstop it but i dont want to have to put a SYE & new driveshaft

 

i had 2.5 spacer in the front and 2inch block on top of a four in rough country lift and tc drop no sye back then ran good

 

so, would you say it would work on a reg. 4.5" R.C.? just if i trimmed the fenders and that was it? no spacers or anything there will be a t-case drop on it.

 

well for what it's worth i'm running a bits and pieces lift got me 5in... no sye or anything and no issue and am running 31 in swampers and going to 32x11.50 hankooks the swampers (at full tread)measured just over 31 the hankook mts are just i tick under 32 but i flex mine hard so..... it's your call i wouldn't but i also don't have mudpits up here,i'm normally in the woods

 

yea see thats the big thing. Im not going thru a swamp but i know theres going to come a time when i see a big pit and go for it will it make it out? thats the big Q. I tihk im going to go for it and just trim really good

 

dont now how much these things can be cut maybe somebody else can give you some measurements in that area

 

when you get the tc kit make sure it come with the linkage drop also

 

The shop i have it at is doing it \. However i did get a look at it. its basically like 12 plastic spacer things i guess you just take the crossmemeber off and throw those on there and throw the crossmemeber back onand there you go.
