no they aren't longer. Your best option is relocation brackets. There's a better alternative to the RC ones IMO, and he's a vendor on here, H.D. Offroad Engineering. I have them on mine and love them to death.

I've got a RC 4.5" lift. Would 33s be OK for city driving with 4" of back spacing until I can trim the fenders? Sorry I searched but had little luck and I don't feel great so I got a short attention span.

Im on my phone and browsing sucks. Are 31" Destination MTs 9.5 or 10.5? And anyone have suggestions for some cheap wheels with wider BS to avoid rubbing? I want simple, not flashy wheels. I'm gonna curb and rash them..

Most likely 10.50 jegs has their soft 8 knock offs on sale for 10% off

Those should work for you and $41 a rim isn't bad.

You're right. 10.50s. I'm thinking 15x8 with 4-3.75" BS would be good. Can anyone confirm?

You will deffinitely have to trim fenders if you go bigger on stock, but you will also have to worry about the tires rubbing on the LCAs unless you get new rims with different backspacing (i forget if its more or less i'm pretty sure less tho)

Do flex joints really make a difference over regular bushings in control arms?
