jeepdoggydogB Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have the Rancho 3 inch lift and my brake lines work fine without extensions. The rancho kit came with LCA's so no tire rubbing on the American Racing Outlaw II rim with 31 inch Cooper STT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm Going to put a washer On my Bolt Behind the Hubs make sense? hahahaHopefully you mean that you are going to shim the steering stops and you are not trying to space the wheels out with washers... :eek: :cheers: I know two people personally that have Rusty's kits and they both would tell you very quickly to send it back and buy a good kit. Rusty's stuff does not have a good track record. :chillin: 31x12.50 is a wide tire and you will have some rubbing, but it shouldn't be bad if you are not doing any real serious offroading. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I Just Bought some Truxs MT's 31x12.5x15 The TrXus MT was never available in that size. The widest it was ever available in is a 10.5" in the 31" flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the same tire (31x10.50 TrXus MT) with my 3.5" RE lift and have no problems with them on wheels using a 3.75" backspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm Going to put a washer On my Bolt Behind the Hubs make sense? No, that's not a good idea, I understand why you want to do this, but one of the reasons the axle "Hub" fits into the wheel rim is for added support, if your rim is out past the hub, then your resting all the vehicles weight on just the 5 studs. One of the reasons that people don't use wheel spacers. And mounted them On some Newly bought Aluminum Rims Those rims are the Jeep 5 star, which I believe is 5 inch back set. Oh.......And....... :needpics: :D I'm running the same rims, with 235/75R15's and the fronts rub on the LCA on a hard turn, right and left.

And mounted them On some Newly bought Aluminum Rims Also, aluminum rims suck up more threads on your wheel studs, and combined with the spacer washers you are talking about using, your studs will be too short for adequate thread engagement. Plus no hub support. Recipe for disaster mate. :eek: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat0491 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Holey Smokes sorry i went to bed early last night. I Know Rustys has a bad track record. But My friends Talked me into it because of the trucks they own (6 0r 7) are all lifted with rustys and they sit and ride just fine even after 2 years :) So i can't Yell at a product Ive never tried. And you inow what my experience may be totally diffrent then every one else. Yes that was my mistake on the tires aswell ( tired...) Yes i do mean the steering stops I did it to my XJ a While Back. The main purpose was to see If The Stock Brake lines will work. I will see If the lift Does what i want ect. Until Then I'm not going to judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I Said Behind the Damned HUb not On It so There :) :laughin: Looks like we all misunderstood that one. Shimming the stops is a commonly done thing and should cause no problem other than losing turning radius. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
