I'm kinda concerned about going to 35's but this looks like a pretty good deal. And I need both tires and wheels so it would be nice to purchase a set. What do yall think?

Seems like a pretty good deal. Make sure there not much dry rot or too many plugs. Then you can paint the cragars again to make them look nicer

Decent deal.. Hopefully you dont have stock steering?

Chumbucket

Currently yes, (well aftermarket track bar) but I plan on upgrading it. That was my next question; what are your suggestions as far as steering upgrades and others necessary for going to tires this big?

ThatPurpleXJ

-Durango steering box
-ZJ tie rod(at least)
-double shear track bar

Also what axles do you have?

Chumbucket

D30 and C8.25

Your gonna want to regear with 35s.. probably to 4.88s...

I would be afraid with a stock tie rod and 35s..mine bent with 31s..
ZJ tie rod is an OK upgrade..but for 35s.. id go with a one ton setup.
Heard a lot of good things about SERIOUS steering..and it seems like Froleich's steering setup is pretty damn good.

I figured on the regearing, but I didn't think I'd have to go as low as 4.88s. I was thinking 4.10s or 4.56s, but thats why I'm the novice and yall are the experienced ones. Thanks for the help y'all. Sounds like I need to replace my RC track bar and do a tie rod upgrade. I don't wheel really hard so I'll try that before I go to 1 ton. Y'all feel free to give me more advice as needed! haha

The trac bar won't be the weak point..it will be the tie rod.

For a trac bar though I'd go iron rock Offroad double sheer

Isnt this kind of steep for a set of tires that are half worn already?

Xj88

I just noticed the spare was what was 70-80 percent. I'd still give him 500 for the set. Sell the rims off for a hundred or so.

why can't people put the damn item in the topic. . ?

I guess I really wanted to waste that very important 10 seconds of your day. I'm sorry.
