Nope, still open up front. Not sure if I want to lock the 30 on 35's


Edit, although.....it would have probably made that a little smoother/slower of a climb ...lol

Lol, I'm normally not the throttle through type of person...but I was getting a little impatient with that rock garden. And when I bumped it up the one rock that was giving me trouble I decided to just lay in to it and use momentum to bounce me over the rest.

And it was a good way to test a few things out on the jeep to see how well they hold up

nice to see how much i'll have to cut to fit 35s. How much bumpstopping? How are the 4.10s with the 35 M/ts?

Well the front stops whenever the 12" shock fully compresses, so it needs more bumpstop, but I'm going to rework the inner front fenders next so ill wait till that's done to figure the correct bumpstop.

And the rear is bumpstoped about 6-7" from the frame rail... but obviously that wont transfer the same way for a leaf spring setup
