Default 35x15.5x15 with 2.5" lift.

Someone asked in another thread and I did not want to rob it.

Fender wells are cut and the stock flares will be going back on. Running 10 " bilsteins up front. 10" in the rear also. Slightly rubbing my adjustable lca's at full lock. But not enough to worry about. Front and rear need 1 more inch of bump or I may alter the inner fender wells enough to make use of my travel. Another option would be to raise the lower shock mount locations. Anyways......

On another not I am not impressed with the wide swampers so far. I like them skinny.

What is the actual measurement on those swamps?

I forget. Do you have 3.55's? How are those working out for you

Swamps are 34" w 25lbs. Stock gearing. Works fine just don't use OD.

Plenty of power. Braking is taking a hit.

Yea I need to alter the front inner fender well. Dropping into the creek today the tire mashed against the floor board so hard the tire stopped.

No on both. It barely misses the inner frame/fender well at full flex. Good eye though. And it was water coming out of the rear drum. I also thought i blew a caliper.

It's only .5" from the leaf pack. I have 1.5" wheel spacers that I had on but I thought it made it too wide.

Very nice! I didn't believe you before when you said 2.5" with 35s and factory fenders, but now I see what you're doing.

No worries. Actually I have been looking at tube fenders. But 700$ is more than I want to spend at the moment. So the stock flares will most likely be going back on as planned.

And I think the fat tires look better but not sure about prformance. But i really have not wheeled with them. Just messed around a little.
