Arent you supposed to have the speedo recalibrated when putting larger tires on a car? My truck came with similar off road tires on it when i bought it, that are larger than the stock size and when im going like 20-25MPH it feels more like 35-40. Although i havent triggered any speed cameras going the speed limit on the meter, so i guess bigger trucks simply feel like they are going faster at a given speed than a regular car does.

I know you have been cutting with a wheel for years. Call it bad luck or whatever. You want to wear full goggles when doing that. Ask me how I know, but I had safety glasses like you, plus my regular glasses behind them. Lo and behold, I got a shard into my right eye that put me into the Veterans hospital AE for a doc to use a needle to pluck it out. Just a tip so you don't end up like my dumb a&!

Now get some good metal fender flares and cut the originals off and add some after market bumpers for added clearance for the tires. Plus a set of electric locking diffs work really good. Ive got all that and more on my 88 Cherokee. I dont have the V-8 but I do have a stroked 4. 0 that I built. Ya it looks good. Yep, wench, bumpers and fender flares.

Looks really good. Now you'll have to add, Eric the custom body guy, lol. I'm thinking of stopping by your brother's shop because I'm having problems with the outside of my rear tires wearing. I had the alignment done at one shop but I don't know, a second opinion would be good to get. Thanks for sharing.

As I asked on the rear lift, have you considered limiter straps so your shocks aren't destroyed, especially with the sway bar disconnect? Unless Bilstein has redesigned their shocks, they aren't meant to be the travel limit. The shaft seals will blow out over time.

If that's a Quadratrac transfer case it might not move without the front driveshaft, I tried that with a Jeep I had that was full time 4 wheel drive and had to put the front driveshaft back in before it would move.

Other than some rear driveline vibration that you had to deal with later - how does this long arm feel overall regarding solidness of the wheels when going over bumps, railroad tracks, potholes, etc?

The maiden voyage is all a good test on how well the dash went back in after replacing the evap core. As a former Chrysler A/C tech I've done my share of them. Around 2 a week or more.

Aaaarrrrgghh! You didn't show the most satisfying sound in the garage: the POP of the bead seating on the wheel! Shame on you!
Oh, and kudos to you for NOT painting the wheels black.

I can't help but to wonder if you're planning on changing the diff gear ratio, or if you're just going to wait until you blow out your diff carrier bearings and THEN change them?
