Growup!! Cutting pinch seams is not a big deal but to some people it is. I have a lot of customers that freak out when I mention it. I give them all options not what I think they should do.
So you know anything other that !!!!!!!?

I gave all the info I have. With my jeep I didn't need to cut my pinch seams. The guy stated he wasn't going to wheel it hardcore. So if it's a mall crawler would he need to cut them? NO

Well that's with 2.5 coils lifts. Not the budget boosts or long arm kits, 3 inch, 4 inch. Yada, Yada, Yada!!! I have installed a few. I also installed on Fords, Chevys, and Toyotas as well. Most people don't like the look of a fender well filled with tire and no spacing. Only my customers that like spinners and 24's usually try to squeeze a huge tire into a small area!!

If you're planning on taking this Jeep offroad...Buy the Rubi. Factory D44's and lockers FTW.

My Sahara was alot cheaper than the Rubi but I've dumped a shit load of coin into it to keep up with a lifted Rubi.

I had to add front and rear lockers...4.88 gears, and the D30 got a complete makeover. Also the Rubi comes with rockrails.

BUT...If your Jeep isn't going to do much offroading...buy th Sahara.

2012 is going to be exactly like March 10, 1982, January 1, 2000, June 6, 2006 and countless of other failed predictions.

The new JP magazine just did i write up on this. In short they said if you want to have 37's get a x or sport model and get a PR 44.

Some one I know who works at the local Harley Davidson dealer said they recently had some guy buy used custom Harley chopper (hardtail.) A few days later the guy brought it back complaining of harsh vibrations (this one was smooth for a harley) and a very stiff ride. I'm guessing it was a mid-life crisis purchase or such.
