You won't have much room to flex, but you can do it.

So with my wj having a 6.5 in lift plus a roof rack with a tire on it, my co worker thinks its too top heavy. He think I need some back spacing, what do you guys think?

If you used a narrower tire that could tuck (instead of 12.5s), it would give you more space. It's really up to you. I loved my XJ the way it stood, but it couldn't flex. That wasn't much of a concern for me cause I only do mud around here. I just wanted you to see how it looks so you can make an informed decision.

So I've decided to lock the front hp-d30 instead of lsd. If I were to get something like an Aussie front locker, should I re-gear the same time I do the locker or can I lock and then couple months down the road re-gear?

THANKS!
