New modded xj and a few ?
#16
I see tons of cherokees with 40s under them. They aren't turds either, they are all running 5.18s or 5.38s.
x2 On the wow factor, that is a dumb way to waste 1000+ dollars on for tires. Why get tires just for the wow factor? So you can get all the chicks? You did say this was going to be a playtoy, so why the hell would you put 39s on it for only the wow factor? Not trying to be a dick, just wondering. Also you said you wouldn't be doing much mud, why get boggers if you're not going to be doing very much mud?
You definitely don't need another 3 inches to fit 39s. I know guys with less than 6 inches of lift on 38s and 39s. You need fullwidths, probably d60/14b and a lot of cut-off wheels or a sawzall. You're gonna want to go long arms or a custom suspension. You're gonna want to get someone to build you a roll cage or build one yourself. There is a lot of things you have to factor in here. With 35x14.50 boggers or anything bigger you WILL eventually be going with fullwidth axles. Are you gonna run high steer arms? how about hydro assist or full hydro steering? What will you do about the tie rod and drag link? Track bar/panhard bar? Are you gonna go with a custom rear suspension setup, or are you gonna keep the leaves? Driveline angles? Shocks?
Like I said, there is a bunch of stuff you will need to do to be able to run 35s and especially anything bigger.
