After looking up what a built 44 would cost me there wasn't much difference in getting a serious 60, so it made sense to me, and I want to be able to run 40's offroad without stressing too much

How do they compare to the torq 14 bolts??
These are pure jeep axle porn.... if I win the lottery I would like the sixty9s or the torq 14 bolt...

I looked at the Torq's this way worked to to be cheaper, although the 14 bolt is probably stronger

$335 a tyre fitted and got a wheel alignment done for about $50 - total cost was ~$1700 which fit nicely into the remaining credit on the card haha
Will be living off rice & gravy for a while :P
Was up at zig zag last weekend with sydney jeep club - was good fun  am slowly developing more confidence on the trails

Dan, get them re balanced at 30 psi and run them at that!! The ride will be excellent then!!! If they tell you you should be running higher pressure because they are larger tyres, tell them thats how you want them!!!! I had exactly the same issue with mine when i first got them. They balanced them at 42 f'n psi!!! I felt like i was in a basket ball!!! Bounce around like crazy!!! I took the pressure down to 30, it shook all over e place so i took it back and told them to re balance at 30, shakes disappeared for ever

Spot on there pressure is everything, my 35's were seated at over 45 psi by the tyre shop this was boarder line dangerous in relation to how the vehicle behaves I got insane front shimmy and it was very sensitive with oversteer, I have set mine around 28-30 psi for road use depending on how loaded the vehicle is though I was not in need of re balancing due to running the internal balance powder.
