Is there any way to "dial in" or max out possible flex from the front end? Im at 4.5" on short arms with drop brackets an adj tb and ext brake lines... And i dont want long arms. Just want to know if there is anything i can do to help it flex more "droop". Looking at pics it seams that some people with 3" short arms are flexing as much as me... Any help? And i have shocks for a 4.5-6" lift. Rc's to be exact.

Hello, there is a kid at my school selling 4- 30x9.5r15 hankook dynapro atm tires with 4,000 miles on them for $300. I don't know how he treated them but they look like they are in good shape. I have a 3" lift and I plan on getting some cragar soft 8's or another similar style wheel. Would I regret it if I didn't get 31's from treadwright for another $440? I rarely offroad, and when I do, its just on trails. Would my setup look okay with 30's? They measure exactly 29.5" according to some website.

Can anyone identify these tires? They look like MTRs but they arent. They dont say anything except "not for highway use, for racing use only" Made in the USA. thats pretty much it.

hmmm...they're definitely old style mtr sidewalls/carcasses, but the tread is different, which is typical of unbranded versions of tires. They've been siped though for sure

Spacers
I'm thinking about putting wheel spacers on my 89 XJ...I just put a RC 3" lift on it and don't want to trim the fenders for larger tires so I was thinking some wheel spacers maybe my answer. I know I can fit 31sx10.5 easy but I'd like to know if I can go wider...does anyone have any advice on wheel spacer brands and if the problems outweigh the benefits?
