DEUCES: I love the chrysler wheels^^ what size of spacer are you running to make the offset more xj friendly? did you know that they are actually 5x115? this amounts to nothing in the already-wobbly jeep world, but on my friends ranger they felt like they needed to be balanced because they centered on the first lugnut that was torqued. still cool wheels and really good looking, and I would totally rock them, just food for thought.
here is my old beater xj doing some driveway flex testing:
rear bastard pack specs: stock xj main leaf (bolt rusted into body so it had to be used, even though it was really reverse-arched) extra xj main, cut-down mj main, then whatever springs fit to make roughly2"-3" of lift with only 5 leaves.
front was just spacers
tires were 32x11.5-15 BFG A/T on 15x10 steels (took a fair amount of ether to poof them on)
anything that rubbed I cut/pounded including the drivers side floor (it was an auto, no clutch throw needed.
you might be asking WHY I would ghetto an xj together such as I did. well... the springs were all free, I made the spacers, the tires were scored from a tires pile and revived with a can of green sealant, the wheels were a trade for an old stereo, and the sawzall blades were cheap :laugh:
oh, and it had a little rust...
but hey, it worked... for "brush clearing"
I drove the thing a few thousand miles through every kind of weather. These worn BFG A/T's did amazing in the snow/road ice (small lugs/lots of edges... go figure) and the low/wide/flexy combination allowed me to do some stuff I would never have tried in my previous tall/skinny/stiff xj.
here it is messing around on a gravel pile:
here it is rolling my friends jeep over immediately after a rollover:
here is my previous xj:

ok thats probably enough whoring
