It's on 40's here


`

And my buddy (shop owner, he is doing the work) convinced the owner to go down to 38.5" Trepadors. This is how they sit next to my stock WG:



With the rear axle moved far back and bumpstopped enough, they should fit.

Depends on a a few factors:
- how much are you willing to cut
- how much uptravel do you want to lose
- what backspacing / et do your wheels have

Ill have to get wheels if I go that big, planning to cut just whats required for bushwackers, don't mind a little rubbing,
selling my JK, going to keep the WJ for a few more years ,so don't want to spend big on suspension.Partly going for looks, partly ability.

WOW those tyres are big on a Grand !!
How much modification required gearing and brakes wise??
Pretty obvious that suspension would need a big lift and guards cut.How are your larger tyres with stock height working out?
