Not impossible, just a PITA. Doing it "right" involves shaving the tread to make it perfectly concentric and taking them to a heavy truck shop for balancing ("normal" tire balancing machines are not big enough to do anything over ~35").Quote:

22" with a wheelbase of 95". I shouldn't be dragging my belly over much.Quote:

Still need to fix my temp gauge, the needle no longer moves, checked the wiring and everything appears ok, i think it my be the coolant sensor, need to look into it.
you can balance out tire 37+ on a 'normal' machine. you just have to know what your doing. the problem is they don't hold a balance for very long so its pointless.Quote:

I don't want to drop the cash on high steer arm spacers/studs. So I built some 1/4" spacers from plate (thickest I could go with the 3" studs). The nut now sits flush with the studs on the knuckles. Steering is much better. No chirping and no binding (at least on the road).
I need to flex it out on the RTI ramp and turn lock to lock to see if thel tr still rubs the springs under compression. We will see.
lets see a pic of this sweet spacer

pics of sweet spring retainers and tie-rod and spring clearance
take a leaf or two out of those spring packs and it should help as well

6y6f must be yiddish for "driver cant drive standard."
who moved my wheel base?
I got the welds ground down, smoothed out, and a little body filler was needed, self-etching primer is applied and driver side is mocked up with the front bolted in. I've got to say I'm pretty proud of the body work.
The story on the sides is that I got them for half price because they are for a yj so I filled the fuel filler and hinge holes as well as extending the guard 1.5" downward to meet my rocker guards. Again, pretty proud of the way they came out, can't even tell I modified them.
Looks good
