i have the coil overs and bump stops and just orders the coil over mounts front and rear from river raider. i will be ordering the 8 inch stretch kit from rock krawler next week.

now my question, i am running the stock 44 in the rear and in order to mount the coil over in the rear on the outside of the frame in the fender well i have to run about a 1 inch spacer. im running 3.5 backspacing already with a 12.5 tire, would it be alright to run the 1 inch spacer with the 3.5 backspacing till i can afford 60s?

also can a drive shaft shop extend my drive shaft to fit or do i have to get a new one?

 

bump.........

 

Cant believe you're asking these questions with coilovers and 8 inch stretch.
Id much rather run 2.5 backspacing in the rear than front. Not sure if you have aftermarket shafts, but most have thicker flanges.
Tom Woods can make you a custom shaft.

 

not sure i understand your first sentence. i am running je reel shafts front and rear. the spacers are needed in the rear but i would like to have them in the front as well to keep it even.

thanks

 

RK sells an 8 in stretch kit? Cool, my wife will be happy!

 

yes a 3 and a 8, lol sorry i had to read that twice

 

Chad you can have a local Driveline shop like MIT in El Cajon or Oceanside Driveline do the DS. JE Reel does custom as well I've seen one first hand. Can't wait to follow your build I've wanted to do a 2dr stretch so real interested to see what challenges you encounter. As far as the BS issue goes

 

yea i cant wait either, found someone that has done it on a anther forum and have read his write up several times, + he gave me his # for any questions that i have. trying to figure out what rear bumper i want to run, i was looking at gen right tire carrier or try to rig poison spyders fold down bumper to fit the jk. we will see

 

Did you see on Mel's ORE Fan page he's got a JK with a PSC carrier mounted to the PSC BFH bumper...which I might add I just happen to have for sale! New never installed...okay enough of the shameless plug!

 

lol well talk if it is still for sale in 2-3 months when i have money, right now all my money is going to stretching
