My dad has been running them for a year and a half on his Toyota truck. Still tons of tread. Probably 70-75% left. Haven't offroaded much in them but they do good on trails and great in snow.

 

no need to do them at the same time, although it would save you time and money to do so.

 

Im looking for a lift kit for my 91 xj anywhere from 4.5"- 6.5" longarm but im not sure on what brand. I been lookin into Rubicon express but their very expencive nd rough country I heard alota bad things about so I wana stay away from them.. but Im lookin for some other good companies I could look into. I perfer made in usa I want something strong nd deffinitly don't want it to sag. I was lookin into rustysoffroad nd want to hear some of youu guys thought about rustys

 

You're gonna get a lot of mixed opinions about Rustys. The general consensus seems to be they have good springs, but don't trust their other parts. I've never used their stuff, personally. I'm a big fan of Iron Rock Off Road. Other good long arm kits include Rock Krawler and Clayton. Those aren't gonna be any cheaper, though.

 

I don't have a lift (no plans on horizon to get a lift). My current tires: 235/75R/15. Stock Rims.

Saw a set of Rims on Craigslist. For $100.00 for Set of 4 American Racing chrome steel wheels for Jeep, 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 15x7 rim size, 4" backspacing for a moderately more aggressive stance.

(1) What is backspacing? (2) This wheel set is 15" so I believe it should fit my current tires; if I am wrong let me know. (3) Is $100.00 a good deal for these, or should I keep what I have.


Thanks in advance if my question is silly...

 

Backspacing is a measurement of how deep the wheel is. Simply put, the number tells where the wheel's bolt holes are relative to the wheel's width. A lower backspacing number means the mounting point (where the lugnuts attach to the vehicle) is further in, like a deep dish rim. Higher BS means the mounting point is closer to the outer edge of the wheel.

You can use those with your tires. Those wheels are the same size as your stock wheels, but they will give your tires a wider stance due to the lower backspacing. $100 is a great price for 4 if nothing is wrong with them.

 

Also, these wheels will stick out about 1.25" more than your stock wheels

 

Being that high up, the wider the stance the better, but I wouldn't say its necessary

 

Im guna look into iron rock I met some1 the other day with a iron rock lift but he had a 6.5 nd it didn't look too high

 

Half of the people here love them, and half hate them.

 

Alexallen86 has them, and he has lots of pics from playing in the mud with them, I'd ask him.

 

I just bought some TSL Super Swamper Boggers for my rig. Can anyone tell me about the lifespan of these tires? I use my XJ probably 2 to 3 days a week with about 1 off road day a month. Thanks!!

 

i love mine!!!!!!!!

 

on the road??? HAHA...terrible

 

Harsh, but accurate.
