Skunkape, after 3" is where the trouble starts...drop pitman, the death shakes etc. It is just the magical number. I have heard this from all the jeepers I respect so take that for what it is. I have 3" on 31"s and it is a great ride. I Know you want huge tires but I am thinking about putting 30"s on for the extra compression room. Your ride is rad and my bumper will be chopped this weekend! How idi you cut yours?

Made me some hood spacers today,I cut some 1'' long tube with my tubing cutter got some 1'' longer bolts to replace the factory bolts and just bolted it all up I left out the factory shims to because I didnt want it to high, took about 20 min.I have not had any over heating issues any way and hope to keep it that way.

Nice build thread man. Im not sold on the hood spacers. Ive heard it helps with the cooling but kinda goofy lookin. Have you considered hood vents??

I have considered it,but if I dont like the spacers I can remove em,I cant remove holes in my hood if I dont like them.I think the spacers look fine as long as there not too thick,then i agree they look goofy
