2000 XJ w/ 4.5" RC Long Arm Kit
Finished installing the Rough Country 4.5" long arm kit a few weeks ago, but just finished my shackle re-location brackets. I used 3.5 x 3.5" square tubing (to closeout the factory shackle "box") and welded it in and also used some 3.0 x 3.0" to fab the shackle mounts. It worked out good and rides a lot better now!

I had 33x10.50 KM2's on my old 4Runner and they were great on and off road. Anyway, I don't think 31's would look funny on a 4.5" lift, although a 32" might looks more at home

Like to see if 31x10.50 would be too skinny for a 4.5" lift.
Thx in advance

Custom front bumper looks like you were able to your front bumper skin and end caps. I love the stock looks as I have a Detours coming in the mail soon which does about the same thing.
