Finally got new tires other day. Still waiting on rims but couldint wait so I mounted them up.
Dick Cepek Crushers 33 12.50x15 I love these tires.
Here's the first thing I tested them on.
Next on the list Finnish the rear bumper and build a tire carrier for the spare.

Thanks Rockstar.
Got the rims yesterday 15x8 they had this stupid pinstripe painted on them. So I knocked the shine off the new paint with scotch pads and painted then army green mounted up the tires again and WOW. I don't have new pics yet my camera crapped out. But man the tires are wider and they stick out further lol

Got 15x8 rims. Now they stick out more and more wider. They came nice and shiny black with a pinstripe. I said uuummm... no. Knocked the shine off and painted them same color as the jeep. Army Green. I've been testing out these tires on everything.
All I got to say is the Dick Cepts Crushers are awsome tires. They definately worth the $$$

what shocks did you get with the kit? your flex for long arms seems to short.... like shocks are limiting it...
cause here is my flex on short arms and all 4 tires planted
But i like the look of the army green wagon wheels! looks sick!!!! So does the jeep!!!

I've been wanting to do something od/military paint-wise too.
you have given me some great ideas!
And that bumper is tough!

It's short in the rear. the front have plenty of flex.
The shocks are rough country that came with the kit. This weekend I'm disconnecting the rear shocks and flexing it out again just to confirm it's the shocks.

sweet job so far.
as for shock length I have the RC 6.5" LA kit as well and the kit comes with shocks for the 4.5" lift kit.
No different shocks for the 6.5" lift kit, So I sold mine when they where brand new and got Bilstein 5150's
Flex like mad now.
Check my pics.
and sweet job on the bumpers
