Rough Country 2.5 Installed
Got my Rough Country lift installed yesterday other than the previous owner installing leveling blocks it went pretty easy at 2.5 hours for the entire install. Tomorrow my 16" wheel will be here so I can see if Ill be able to down size to a 285/75R/16. I realize I can go as big as a 35 with 2.5" but still want room for flex. However if the 16" wheels don't clear my brakes Ill step back up to a 17' with 34x10.50s. This isnt my first build but will probably be my last. Back in the days of YJs XJs and TJs it was easy needless to say now the mathematics to get everything to fit and work properly has gotten alot more complicated. Either way I dont see alot of heavy flexing and or trail riding in my future but the equation has to be there.......if you know what I mean pictures to follow
