Are you able to grab a rear view mirror pic or express how it may affect your view? With my 35" tyre, MORryde set up, I kinda like the stock-ish look this could bring.
Be all like steathly, come on.
It just happened!

I had done a very similar thing to my stock third brake light but the angle of the spacers and the 35 inch tire caused the bottom of the third brake light to hit the glass on my hard top with bumps and whatnot so I ended up doing this… I have the MORyde as well

I had to do a double take on the pic of the black spacers. I was wondering “why did he put cotton balls in there”

Why it's obvious. I wanted that cottony soft ride!

All I wanted to do was install the spare tire and it turned into a 3 hour job. 
First, had to raise the 3rd brake light.
Second, the stock bumper had to come off to get enough clearance room for the larger tire. In went the Mopar Rockcrawler bumper I took off before.
Third, with a stock TJ tire the bracket for my backup camera places the camera at the top.. However, once I put the Wheel adapter on, the JL wheel spoke was in the way. This meant cutting off the bracket part where the camera attached, then flipping and welding it on the bottom. Of course I also had to clean up the bracket and paint it.
All done now!

Tire snubbers make good contact with that spacer on there?
Upon moving to Virginia last year, I had my first encounter with vehicle inspections. I failed because I had removed my 3rd brake light. I used a hole saw on my tire carrier and installed a 2" led marker light behind the hub hole in the wheel. It passed.

Decided to order the Next Venture high clearance rear bumper. Given this is on an LJ, I went without a receiver hitch and added the frame tie in kit.

I have that bumper. While i love the clearance it opens the corners up to getting hit.
Dang there was one posted down here recently for $125 without a hitch.

Since Savvy isn't available, it will be Genright. I'm also considering getting a piece of aluminum bar-stock and doing a radius bend around the bottom of the tub as extra reinforcement. This might be overkill and will depend on how it looks in the mock up. The thought process is to start at the back of the armor corner and go around to the flare.
OP
Haven't forgotten about you, just haven't had time to pull the Jeep out of the garage and snap a picture or two.
I noticed that Next Venture makes aluminum corners for the LJ. Have you heard of anyone running these? Just curious how the compare to Savvy or Genright.

I'll throw in the suggestion of Nemesis corners. When I got mine, I was able to customize the cut of the corners. So they may be able to cut them to fit the sliders perfectly as they sit on the Jeep. Just a thought.
