Same here about the tires! Also did u add the SYE kit? If not u got any vibrations? And how'd u do ur fenders? Cut and fold or just added trim guard? I wanna trim mine but never did it before so don't wanna bust my stuff up.

The tires are nokign vativa m/t I got from a local tire distributor i paid 626. but i bought them at wholesale price, so far i love them they do great off road and ride really well too. I didn't add the slip yoke eliminator just lowered my transfercase 1 inch and i have no vibrations at all. I just cut the front right above where the bolt holes were for the flare and left the last little flare out there and the rear you have to cut a small piece off all the way around and then cut slits in the metal and fold it in, it was a little time consuming but not too bad

I disagree. I know many people do it like that but I dont like it. My opinion is leave the caps on and if you ever get a new front bumper and have to modify the panels then go for it. Just my opinion.
