Have fun running above 40 MPH on bias ply, I had them on my pickup and it was like driving on ice, it would just sway and wag its tail like a dog. lol

I don't think we have. It's probably worth giving it a shot with little hope to get them zeroed out. We couldn't get one of my 32s to zero out yesterday. It's more the size than construction of the tire that's a pain.

Gotcha. I think I'll need to make a splash guard too. I don't fab crap. I can get my brother to make a splash guard.

One of the perks of still living with my parents.... Dad bought my mom and sister iPads, so he asks me yesterday to email him a list of parts I wanted for the XJ that add up to $400 which is what he paid for each of the iPads... SO I am thinking Ballistic Fab front and rear covers, and some various other odds and ends I needed

Anybody ever use any Ballistic Fab products? From what I can see their covers are beefy... I am trying to get away with not running a cow catcher on my diffs... Thoughts?
