    Looking good. What LCA's did you go with? Aftermarkets, OEM? Have you gotten much usage out of those Kendas or have them just been sitting till you regear? I'm interested in these as well but cant decide which ones to get, 10.5 or 12.5s. Curious what made you choose 10.5s over 12.5s?

    I went 10.50s for gas mileage/wear, and fitment is easier. They honestly perform fantastic off-road. I was out with all my buddies on 35x12.50s last week and had no less traction than any of them. My only complaint with these tires is they pick up small rocks like it’s nobody’s business. Road noise and road manners have been great as well.

    So here is a quick pic update of the runner. I’ll get into details later. F4B292BA-2288-4AC9-B2F8-2E7BCF11F5B8.jpg 2A03A372-354E-4E9D-91D5-B5F1AF157013.jpg 0149B96D-7C8F-4DE8-A859-696C1B970E1A.jpg 16514CA4-4200-4065-BCD2-516FF9C4C7BA.jpg A6CC200E-F08B-4445-BCF0-A65CBA3D47B8.jpg

    Are you rubbing on anywhere? Mind taking a pic of how much you've chopped on your body mounts? Running any spacers to push the wheel outwards?

    Cab mount. Beat the pinch welds flat trimming plastics front and rear. 2” bump stop extensions on the rear with longer shocks
    What I have for a pic at the moment. It may not be the best angle to see. These were taken with my 285s on


    Almost forgot. No wheel spacers these FN counter steer type X are 4.1 backspacing D397790E-70E8-448D-9537-19A5B75B0FBB.jpg9B4367B1-6B9C-45BD-AE81-BB5FDEE7E99D.jpg

    Thanks!! So looks like it wasn't that aggressively chopped and you managed to fit 35's? Right on! Another question, would you know what your caster's are set too? I have the same wheels so it's assuring know you've done it w/ no spacers. Some have added spacers to push the wheels out to clear the UCA.

    I don’t remember honestly. I have the SPC UCAs at +1°. And both front and rear cam tabs maxed out forward. I did my camber with just the adjustments on the UCAs
