Those pics are Synergy/Poly not Teraflex and yes they do have more of a bend for bigger tyres.

Sorry about the photo was after a trip up cape parmerston

That's the clearance between the ppm rear arms and my 285/70/17 tyres on sunraysia rims with 20mm offset
Wonder how much more clearance the Tera flex arms offer

going the tera rear uppers as Pete has shown me how much extra clearance they offer

Will have to also consider rear sway bars links with the 35 s and 20mm offset rims.
Might get a 35 on my spare rim and play around with it to get it right.

But of course. Larger and heavier tyres and rims which stick out further will cause ball joints and bearings to wear out faster not to mention tie rod ends and shocks.

Not a JK thing...happens to every other 4wd on the market. The moment I put 33" tyres on my GQ the front bearings needed to be tightened every oil change and I flogged out a rear wheel bearing within the first few thousand KM (was probably near death to begin with though).

That's part of the fun of modifying. Apparently.
