No but my friend might have. Best part of the concert was getting to laugh at body lifts, wronglers, and ruined vehicles.

Saw this guy bragging about his Cherokees lift so I walked over.
Me: how much did you say it was?
Him: it's the rough country 6.5' long arm.
Me: oh? I didn't know they made diamond plated shackles or used aluminum blocks in their lifts?

Do you have any picture to see how it looks with the lift kit, fenders and 31?

Your 31 are 'real' 31? Mine say 31.5 but the real size is 29"

Thanks.

Thanks for the picture. MY Khumo 31.5 MT in fact are 29

. I want to install a 4.5" RE lift kit and Bushwaker fenders and after install 32 o 33" BFGoodrich MT tires. My "concern" is how awkward it will looks until I finished the project. Taking you images as a reference and having 2 inches less I think it won't look pretty good

No problem. Even at 3" I want more tire. You should find some true 33"s.

How the eff did you get 33x12.50 tires on those rims, and how the eff do they not rub on the frame or LCA's? I had the same wheels with a 31x10.50 and they rubbed to beat the band at full turn!

I gotta put some wheel spacers cause they rub my leafs and coils. But the rims are 16x8s and they fit them fine. Im gonna put 285/75R16s on instead which are more like 32x11.50s. I still got 2 more inches to add with a shackle relocation in back and 2 inch Puck up front. As for CAs I still use stock with RC CAD brackets.
