I have a '07 JKU Rubicon, d44 all sleeved trussed etc.

I have a set of 17x8.5 4" BS bead locks I'd like to use the issue is they are for my yet to be purchased D60's and I'll need to run 1.5" spacers since they are 8 lug on the Rubicon axles.


Worried that the resulting effective BS of 2.5" may cause some issues esp on the rocks..my JK is heavy about 6k loaded..

Thanks.

 

you have to run a 2 piece wheel adapter to get the axle to 8 lug
are you worried about bending your axles?

 

No I can get a 1 piece adapter no problem...

No Offset- BS isn't going to affect the axle tubes but will put more stress on the very small unit bearings.

 

Im running 2 inch adapters on my rear to get it to 8x6.5. Been running it for almost 2 years now with 37s and havent had a problem but i would look at the front as more of the problem

 

I'm running 3" of BS and for a 2DR, I'm heavy. With the tires out that far, you can expect turning at a stop to become more difficult. I'm looking into hydro assist to help. I have broken my selector shaft which I feel was stressed by running tires out that far. Also my ball joints and unit bearings get beat up.

 

Thanks, I have a PSC box and ram so good there. Sounds like I'm good to go.

 

What spacers are you gonna use to change the bolt pattern?
