Does anyone know someone that needs tires? I want & need to get rid of this 265/75R16 two pretty much brand new hankook dayna pro MT and two big foot which are okay but I was planning on throwing those away anyway so who ever buys the MTs can have them if he wants them... Tires and wheels for sale! Make me an offer.

I believe Utah requires you have a bumper that is atleast as wide as the origional vehicle track. Should be able to find it in here.

Also anyone knwo of a company with srings that extend further then normal unloaded so they wont drop off my bump tube? lol I am sure they would have to be soft spring rate but thats ok... looking for 4.5-5" springs that will add 2-3 " when unloaded LOL, probably don't exsist...
I want them because I am adding 4" of droop to the front and would like a taller spring when droped out...

With the LP D44 up front, that CV can only go so far when drooping the driver front.

You can get a little more out of softer springs, but it would not be very significant. I think your best bet is to find a way to keep the coils contained. Such as hard mounting to the axle and having a long *** bump stop up top. But maybe more importantly, how much more droop do you really need? I have shorter limit straps than I could get away with, but it keeps me from having driveline issues With the LP D44 up front, that CV can only go so far when drooping the driver front.

I haven't fully decided really, the longer shocks wont be limiting up travel so I Am going to try it out and limit it with straps to where 'i want it. I have extended bumps and plan to extend the tube rather then add the the bucket, the coils are bolted down... Just want to keep the spring seated as long as possible.... I was thinking I may run into U-joint binding before the spring is really any kind of issue.

I am running the regular non-offset joint and have the yoke bolt and nut shaved. I can go freeway speeds with the hubs in OK and it is not binding significantly when drooping. That has become my most acceptable set up.

When I was running the CV up front, the yoke ears were touching even after being shaved. It was actually contacting a little bit and being noisy at ride height. I eventually swapped over to a regular single joint. Since my pinion was nearly horizontal anyway, this was a better set up. With that, the U-joint touches the yoke bolt and nut unless I use an offset joint. It vibrates like crazy with one of those. All these issues have made me appreciate high pinions a lot more
