The Kevlar sidewalls on the MTRs are leaps and bounds stiffer and thicker than the ko2s I had. Those things would fold over like crazy and I even gashed one pretty bad.

 

thats what i would expect with the ko2 being an all terrain. They are meant to be able to handle a multitude of ymterrain and do well on pavement. A stiff sidewall doesnt lend itself well to ride quality. The best sidewall on an all terrain would be average on a mud terrain sidewall scale. With mud terrains primarly neing intended for offroad, manufactures dont have to sacrafice sidewall strength for road comfort so they can make them more stout. Some, like the duratracs try and blend too much one way. Goodyear wanted them to be great offroad and onroad, hence the softer sidewall. Most hybrids are like that but the duratracs have the softest sideall. On heavier vehicles, like my truck, the differrences are more pronounced.

 

Who is the manufacturer?

 

Looks like rubicon express

 

That's what I'm thinkin'. The offset bushing tube and silver color are kind of their trademark.

 

Thanks. Now I know what to say when I post it up for sale

 

They are the superflex model if you want to get technical.

 

Funny I just sold those same arms to someone local and were in about the same condition.

 

If this is the wrong thread for this please let me know and point me in thr right direction.

OK, I think I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and buy the lift kit, new wheels and tires for my otherwise stock '97 XJ. I was going to get the 3" spring pack kit with tire and wheel package from Rusty's seen here:
http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-su...-pack-kit.html
It seams like a good deal but now I'm looking for the 5th wheel and tire for a spare which had me thinking is this package the best deal. I was going to get the Dick Cepek Fun Country tires in the package. Any exeperienced advice on where else to look to buy all 5 wheel and tires from the same place for a good deal? Is it cheaper to order the lift kit package online and then buy tires locally to save on shipping? I'm looking to get a 31" tire and would mostly be using the Jeep on sand/highway. I tricky part is not completely going over my $2000 budget. Any advice is much appreciated.

 

Let's see if this gets read.

I currently have a D 35 and plan on swapping in a D44 I picked up at the JY a few years back once I install a 3in lift, problem is I forgot to snag the driveshaft also. So my inquiry is how can I measure for a new driveshaft without putting the axle in first. Could I measure from the face that mates up with the diff cover to the yolk and compare the two then adjust the measurements from the D35 to transfer case to make it work for the D44 or do I need to measure from center axle to yolk.
I think the first method would be easier since I'm not trying to eyeball center and end of yolk.

I hope I'm making sense. Thanks

 

Just put the axle in and measure. Drive around in 4 high while you wait on the rear driveshaft. That's what I've done a few times.

 

Fortunately it's not a DD, but I'd like to have everything done at once so I can just hop in and go.

 

I've always gotten my driveshafts in a very timely manner from the Adams and they're on the other side of the country from me. Also, mine is a daily driver haha

 

That's who I was planning on going through.

 

They won't disappoint.
