Thanks

Seeing as you have the owners ear, any recommendations for stock JK rims if one wanted to make the jump up to 35's or 37's?

??? Not sure I understand.

The Stock JK Wheels will allow you to run 35's and even 37's if you wanted to with wheel spacers.

Hi David, Hey thanks, I got my spacers and lift kit from ya a year ago. Tested the works at Moab last year, and everything work great. These are some really good spacers and are very strong. Hope I get to see ya again I'll be back at Moab EJS this year too. Thanks again jeep buddy.
Also love the LOD sliders

Question, In the write-up we are to torque to 95 ft. lbs. With the instrutions from Spidertrax, it says to torque from 80-90 ft. lbs. Did they change to amount? Or is is different for Jeeps?

thanks

If you use the Loctite(like I did) initially set torque to 95lb. Then after a few hundred miles when it's time to recheck set your wrench for 90lb. If the loctite breaks then re apply and re torque.

in my opinion, yes, it is a necessary step as they can prevent your spacers and/or even aftermarket wheels from sitting completely flush. they can potentially cause a shimmy in your wheel and, they leave open the possibility of letting your lug nuts come loose. i personally would go back and remove them - just to be safe.
