TF 2.5 BB and 35's w/pic's
Like most i sat on the fence about a 2-3 inch lift and 33's or 35's.Very painful and read everything on those choices.Finally installed the TF 2.5 BB w/shock extentions.Also installed 35 inch Cooper Discoveries STT's.Thought i'd ad a review of my decision.Overall stance and look is what i was looking for.The ride is stock.The only time you feel a m/t ride is the initial first turn of the tires and then it fells just like a a/t.Very smooth and the worst tire only took 4 onces to balance.Overall dia. of the tire is 34.5 in on a 15x8 w/3.75 backspacing.One note on the Pro Comp extreme crawlers is the that mine required no grinding on the brake calipers.The fit is very tight,about the width of a finger nail.Around town there is only rubbing on the lower air dam at almost full lock.Removed it!My axles shifted 1/2 in to the passengers side.I live in Lake Arrowhead.Ca and it is very windy around here and between 20 and 40mph it sets the ESP off frequently.Sharp turns and bumps seem to set it off.I will say while driving around San Bernardino the ESP light never came on.Absolutely love the out come and would recomend it to anyone.Will work out the bugs w/the ESP.Here are the pic's in a slideshow, enjoy.

Just got back from some testing in the area and did not rub anywhere at full stuff.Had a great time and will post a pic tommorrow.Pretty much piont and shoot and walks right through.The additional clearance is amazing.Did not drag anywhere.Was thinking about a 1 inch body lift frome M.O.R.E. but now i'm questioning the need.JJ

Still running the 4.10's.Around town and local there is not much difference.On the freeway and pulling the grade up the hill home it's slow and out of overdrive.It is getting about 3mpg less i think.For someone down the hill i think they would'nt notice much change.JJ
