Only on tight turns because of the offset of the ravine's. If I had any after market wheels I doubt they would.

I have 3 in and 31s, I say it's a pretty agressive stance

1.) 2.5 inch lift (ProComp leaf packs and coil spacers, total cost under $300)

2.) Black wheels, mine are powder coated, yours can be Plasti Dipped.

3.) More aggressive tires (P235/75-15 Goodyear Wrangler's shown)

The spacers are supposed to be mounted with the isolator below them, not above like you've got, I mounted mine like you have yours, after about 3 years the spacers disintegrated.

Okay, thank you. I'm installing V8 ZJ springs on Sunday so I'll switch them around when I've got it apart. I only installed the spacers last month.

I have a YZF 600, but you probably mean dirt bikes.

Tires are everything! Throw away the car wash sponge, off set rims to stick out from under the fenders, and mount a kid with a rifle on top. Works every time.

no, LOL, that's not plywood on the roof. It is a stick to move rattlesnakes out of the way.
If you want an aggressive look you can't worry about a few little kid tracks on the roof.
How about the optional ax handle rear hatch helper on this one?
