I know a lot of people hate it but I did some mild angry eyes. I think they look awesome!

just ordered 1'' coil spacers

gonna toss on the spacers and trac bar all at once. i thought about ordering some IRO LCA's but ill just save up for some long arms

i think im ony going to up size to 32s cause i can still run 4.10s on 32s. cause the cost of regearing intimidates me. lol but i can get 4.10 axles from the junk yard and i can resell my current axles and recoup some cash

Did you go for the 4 AWG Or the 1AWG?

I'm trying to decide which I want to go with

That's not a bad deal at all for the tires. And a set of 5 is always appreciated. I would do it. Your jeep will have some serious stance going on with 15x10s. I'm not 100 percent sure on this but I would guess that since they are 15x10 the backspace is probably 4 not 3.75 but who knows. They will look sweet though..

After looking at the add, how positive is this fella that they are 15x10? I would imagine a 10.50 wide tire would pop a bead rather easy on a 10inch wide rim offroad. I'd be willing to bet they are 15x8 with the 3.75bs. It's hard to really tell in the pics but from what I can see the tires don't really look stretched on the rim. They look just like my rims/tires on my 95 which are 31x10.50 on 15x8 d windows. If that's the case and they are x8 that's even better for you honestly.

Oh and order two of the IRO track bars please I'll pm you my address

Well let me know what you think of it.. What made you go with that one? I really need to get my *** in gear and redo the front end on my jeep asap. It's really the weak link right now.

Yeah true.. I mean if you want 33s then I guess you don't wanna settle for the 31s. Who knows you might check Cl in a week and find 33s. It's just rare that 1:someone has 5 matching tires and 2:they aren't beat to hell with "brand new" written in the header lol

Picked up som lca's from a member and they should be in soon .

Akso got a new coolant temp sensor for my gauge. Gonna try and install that today if I can ever get back home.

Still waiting on my new batt. Cables to come in as well as my spacers and track bar. The spacers should bring me up to 4" in the front to match the rear. And I'm still on the hunt for 33's

I wish I had some space to spare cause a 92 mj is for sale for cheep by me :/ I want to get an mj and do a full 97+ conversion on it in cluding the interior and motor ......some day lol
