Default Offset TREs

Anyone have any experience or information on them?

I ran an Advanced Search for "Offset TRE" and got tons of stuff for offset balljoints. :/

I am picking up a JCR OTK kit and thought it may be a good to look into these to maybe help do away with common clearance issues.

I found that Ruff Stuff sells them, however I am not sure if they are compatible with the JCR kit. I can alway call JCR and check that, tho.

Anyone know if they are available thru any other suppliers? Are the Ruff Stuff TREs high quality?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Off set and utk. You gotta make sure your wheels are offset enough to be a or to do otk or utk with the 1ton steering. Or have to go with a bigger size wheel like a 17" since the 15" is to small. It should be sometime tonight though. Guessing 8-10 hours from now.

I just saw a pic of a guy using 1 ton TREs and stock rims, no backspacing. XJLI on Nax.

Offset TREs I can see running into issues with hitting the rim.

So your TRE is offset or your rims are? Your posts are pretty difficult to read.
