Finally got the lift finished and tires mounted.
Welp, the Lift and Tires are on, time to post some pics. Really can't wait to see what it'll do.
First is the double shear upgrade for my Iron Rock adjustable Track Bar. (Yes, I know the tie rod end is bad, getting a drop pitman arm and all new tie rod ends soon, as well as a steering box brace).
And this is what the jeep looked like before the lift.
Here's one of the Kumho Road Venture M/T KL71's mounted on a crager soft 8 rim, 15 x 8 with 4" backspacing, the tire is a 31 x 10.50 x 15
And a few pics as she sits now, far from finished, but so far with a Rough Country 4.5 Short arm lift with full leaf packs.

33's to 31's? this has got me thinking I can't wait til I trim those fenders and put some bushwackers on there, and get some 10 inch rims with these in a 33 x 12.50 x 15

I love the Kumhos, they ride really well and I only barely hear them when coming to a stop, if I'm listening really close. Other than that, not a sound on the highway and they ride really smooth. Can't wait to see how they perform on the trail.

Looks good man!
Keep the wheels you got when you go to 33s. No need for 10" wheels. Save ya money too.
Just be careful. 31s turn into 33s and 33s turn into 35s and then it's all over after that. Then you'll be thinkin about 1 ton axles and huge tires and all kinds of non sense. Believe me, I know lol.

Nice pictures. Jeep looks great! I need to check my pitman arm as well. I hadn't really noticed the angle. I'm on a 4.5" SA lift too.
Btw, that track bar mod is great. I did the same to mine, but fabbed the mount for my RE heim joint TB. Huge difference in flex!
