Default Heres the plan!!

Just want some thoughts on the build i will be doing in the next couple of weeks.The lift is a RE 3.5 superflex.Maybe an sye kit[we will see].I will be using 17" 2010 rubicon wheels w/ 255/75/17 BFGmudterrains[with adaptors].I know there will be fender trimming involved because I plan to use any available flex.This will not be a road queen,will be a daily driver.Can anyone forsee any issues I might have with this set up?As this is my first jeep build.Thanks for the help.....

only thing that jumps out is the over all tire height. if you go over 33" you will be putting a lot of stress on stock axles. not to mension fuel milage if it is a DD. i have a set of 16" with 265 BFG KO's on mine now and it seems to work ok. sounds like it will look great. good luck!

The tires measured from the ground up is 32",The width is 10.5.With the spacers they will sit 1.25" out from hubs.With the right amount of trimming im hoping thell be ok.
