I'll bet if you keep the stock wheels or at least, stick with stock back spacing, you might be able to install a set of 315/75R16's. That'll keep most of your tread under the flares but you might have to adjust your steer stops to prevent rubbing at a full turn.

Anyone know how picky they are in California about this? They seem to be tight about everything else around here. I just got a ticket for having my toll road transponder sitting on the dash. Officer said it had to be velcroed to the glass.:angry: WTF! $141.00 I will be fighting this one, already got my toll road statement showing the transponder beeped 2 minutes before the writing of the ticket.

Eddie....

Any idea when the Full Traction 3" lift will be shipping out. I ordered one from Northridge when you first posted it but they keep tellin' me they don't know?

I was called by my dealer today and told that my 4dr. Rubi was shipped on the 20th and should be there next next. I have tires and wheels....NEED the lift! :sad:

WTF!! :eek: Are you serious?!! Where abouts in California are you? I always carry my Fastrack transponder on the dash. Guess I'll have to stick it to the windshield now just in case

Funny you should ask. I just got off the phone with Northridge4x4 and was told they would be shipping out in about 2 weeks.

I wonder if over time there will be some heat issues with the brakes with 15's. My brother in law had a Ford truck that wobbled when he put on the brakes. Turned out they put the wrong rims on and the discs warped from heat. It was only a couple of months old.

Aliso Viejo. 73 North, he was waiting right at the toll thingamabob! I am sure he can tell my transponder beeped. Doen't a light or something go off if you don't have one? The problem was my son's Jeep had the temporary tag. I guess a lot of people delay putting on their plates and keep running the tolls.

thats exactly what i want my JK to look like! Same color, lift, and tires!! WOOT!!!

Only thing that i would have done differently, is throw a nice set of bead-lock rims on there, probably polished with a red bead-lock

As far as the whole tire thing, here in ontario canada cops are way more worries about pulling over the so called "street racers" than guys with lifted big bunned jeeps
