wider front end helps with turning radius, trucks come from the factory like that

yeah but too much back spacing on the wheels gives you a large scrub radius and makes it real hard to turn

less backspacing will push the tires further out.

Yep, the 2.75s would need to go in the back to even them out. With your short wheel base I would think your turning radius would still be very acceptable. It's just a matter of looks. Does the rear being narrower really make it look funny?

sorry ya, wasn't thinking. Your right it would be less backspacing in the back. Well I have 4.25s on the front now and like the way it looks. I might buy the 2.75s for the back to bring them out a bit more. The front would still be wider (not by much, 1/4" on each side) So I wouldn't be changing the width of the front, just making the rear wider. Any downsides to doing this?
since ur not worried about rotating then it really doesn't matter, run 2 different rims

Other than a pain in the ass when rotating tires, no. (and I really doubt you will be needing to do much rotating of your tires on this one. If you do like Scott, he just cuts one every trip so he keeps pretty new tires all around.)

no, I would just get wheel spacers i have some in the rear

since he already has to buy rims might as well get the ones that don't need the spacer since the spacers would be another hundred

Matching Bolt Pattern, 8x6.5 both Front and Rear. . . Finally.
Also, the new 37x12.5x15 MTRs. The Jeep will obviously come down a lot once it's back on it's own weight. Regardless the new tires fill out the wheelwells pretty well.
awesome too bad 8 lugs don't help hold your ujoints together

I don’t anticipate the stock shafts holding together. After talking to Garrett about his d-44 and MTRs I have come to expect that chromo shafts are a necessity, as well as hydro-assist. None of that will happen this year though. I won’t be wheeling it this year because of these known weak points. I don’t want to break anything before I might leave the country for a while.
*****, Dana 44 shafts are easy to find.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
whats the point in doing the work if you aren't going to wheel it get some spares and get good at swapping them out
