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.

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
