    Build plan for 33s

    I'm certainly no expert, but a 10" wide wheel, which will likely have 3.75" of back space, seems like a lot of wheel to be sticking out there. You're gonna get a lot of mud slinging on the side of the jeep. Be sure to keep your window rolled up, lol! I'm running OME springs and used to run the...

    05 Flame Red TJ Build

    I know you are trying to steer away from purchasing more crap, but OME makes a 10mm spacer for the rear springs if you can find some. I gave mine away years ago, but this is what they look like.

    REAL WORLD COMPARISON: OEM Anti-Sway Bar w/ Disconnects vs. Antirock Off-Road Sway Bar vs. SwayLOC Dual Rate Anti Swaybar System

    Like Blaine mentioned, the end link ball joints seem to wear prematurely. I've been thru 2 now in 3 years of ownership. Other than that, the Swayloc system has been fantastic.

    Someone is not happy it's raining out and can't play fetch.

    The KO2's lasted 7 years. I burned them down to about 6/32's. I don't think they owe me anything. I probably could have ran them thru winter, but the sidewalls and the rubber between the tread blocks were starting to surface crack.

    Thanks. I agree, they do have a clean, yet simple look. Should be easy to keep clean.

    I'll keep the old wheels and find some used 35's to put on them. If I have the urge to play in the rocks, I'll throw some hockey pucks on the lower pads for Bump and rock 35's for the trail.

    Yep. The front looks ok, but the rear spring perch is getting close. The look kind of reminds me of your rig with the DC2's.

    The wheels? I'm not super excited with the look. I'm sure they will grow on me. I do like the clean look they provide. Jury is out on the back spacing until I do some flex testing. The tires? Too soon to tell yet, but the 12 mile commute home was the smoothest I have ever experienced with this...

    The drive home was smooth and promising.

    Wildman's TJ is getting a face lift

    We're just glad to see doors and a hood back on. (y)

    The wheels are gray, and the tires are made in the USA. That should get you by for a spell.
