The rears are full flout , fronts have lockout hub's they are 69"wms
No castor correction, but with lockout front hubs you can run a steeper pinion angle....

I think he got his numbers reversed 7k for the front and 4k for the rear. My full blown full float prorock 60 with ARB was just a shade over 6k

If you are gonna wheel your jeep on tough trails like the hammers you should go with 60's and 37's and full float, a 44 isn't strong enough for hammers type wheeling. Going to 37's you also have to keep in mind your steering you have to beef that up or else your going to break your sector shaft and that's a really bad break out on the trail!

you can run a 40x13.5" with 3.5" bs wheels but still may rub a bit depending on shock travel and suspension set up.

What are your thoughts on running wheel spacers on the new mopar ultimate 60s? Bora makes a nice steel spacer in 8x6.5. They are built to 69" wide and I can't figure out why they didn't make them 72" wide to start with

Should be fine, I run a 2" on the rear and a 1.5" on the front. Ballistic has aluminum adapters that would be lighter. One benefit of running adapters on the axles is that it keeps the hubs tucked in if you play in the rocks.
