Got 3 of the 4 mounted today, the 4th had a bent lip on the rim and it wanted 7oz. to balence. Luckly I bought 5 rims so i will take my 5th tomarrow and mount it up and use that janky rim as my spare. They look even more badass on the rims i'll get a few pics later.

My current set up is a 4.5 RE which got me around 5. I still have some bumpstop tuning to do. My 33s dont rub that much, for normal MI wheeling. However I did manage to find out at full stuff the frt. tires like to push and pull the fenders around. It should look similar to mine with the lift your looking into. You'll love those tires. I've seen them in action and they clean out great in thick mud.

Sweet guys thanks and I love green jeep (well kinda green kinda mud colored)

I cant wait to get them tires on. 3 out of the 4 balenced great with less than 1oz. on em but one took 5oz. so that got me a little worried. I emailed goodyear about it. You guys ever heard of a tire like that taking that much weight?

Oh and i got my Rubicon Express 6* steel shims today. Got em off a guy on JF for 20 bucks shipped still in the orginal bag. Now im gonna try to find a T case drop just until i get my SYE . Oh and still waiting on those sway bar endlinks to come into Jeeperz Creeperz.
