THANKS!!!



Calling the guy now.

This saves me quite a bit on my budget. Enough to now fully justify the slider box to SWMBO lol.

Ok so gas mileage question... I have KM2's in 33x10.5's now, they weigh basically right at 50 lbs each. The 12.5's are 57.8 lbs and the 35's are 60.1 lbs. What is the biggest factor in the mpg? The weight or diameter?

Feels so much better than my Trxus 33x12.5 that were 68 lbs each lol

How much lift would you need to clear 37s without trimming? Not considering it at ALL lol. Just a random thought I had.

But he's running 60's... Stock, i'd say around 4 or 5's of lift. With full widths you can do a lot more

Didn't even think about that, are you saying 5 inches to fit 37s?

No trimming with stock flares and everything? And be able to turn cleanly without hitting anything? I'd say probably 7-8". But thats with NO trimming or bumpstopping.
