Your new tires and wheels will look great. Are you sure that the tires aren't 30x9.50 or 31x10.50? I have 31x10.50 BFG AT KOs on stock wheels. I had to adjust the steering stops to keep from hitting the LCAs during sharp turns.
I am not 100% sure on the size they probably are the 9.50...but it doesn't matter now cuz he sold them before I could get them. oh well. I'll just get some soft 8s with about 4"bs and 31x 10.50 mtr or duratracs. I do go off road but just 2 tracks and back woods, no mud or anything....that will wait till the front bumper and winch go on. I do have a class III (first thing I did to the jeep...other then the engine)I haul a trailer about 50% of the time that I am on the road. I would like to get adjustable lca's but still holding off on that for now. Winter sucks for working on jeeps.

don't feel dumb...look under the bumper. the first pic is after and the 2nd is before.(I'm bass akwards) all that I did was remove the small air deflector and trim the bottom edges of the end caps.

Oh ok i see it now! I was looking at the actual corners. It looks good i like it. I'm planning on repainting my bumpers so I'll probably cut them then. It looks good.

Ok so I've done the bumper triming, I am going to do the headlight upgrade as soon as ups shows up at the door, and the wheels I am waiting till I need new tires and then I'll just do it all at once. Still thinking about recovery points up front....now I'll sound like a dummy....where should I mount them?
What else can you guys get me to do
