Will do! Hopfully they got it right now. Fingers crossed! Ever considered going with 3” coils? I don't have any experience with lift or tires. So no. Honestly, not sure when the wheels and lift will come. Still looking into some options.

yep... lol

Really struggled with getting the gears in the Jeep (I had someone else do it). But they are finally in. Ended up going with 4.56 gears for the front and rear. I put a Eaton Truetrac up front and for the rear, I went with the Eaton E-locker (red switch is the locker). I also after like 3 years got the Dana 44 all cleaned up re-geared and put in. I bought it off some member off this site in MN years ago and it was good to finally see it go in. So far I am pretty happy with the truck. Though I am going to need a new steering column soon. : / The tires I bought are too big and so I am deciding to sell them. 4 tires and 5 rims 35''. I want to go with 33'' instead. Once I have the tires and rims in I think I will be close to finished with this build.

Good to see all my photo's are back up... Dumb image site took them down. CC got a makeover too it looks like. Wow well done. To answer the questions above. I got the headline from a guy called: Steve Bennett SMS Headliners, LLC The product he gave me was really well done. I found him in the vendor section of the Comanche club forums.

Headliner in and done. Fits great!

Out and about for the summer!

After two years of having this Dana 44 it is finally getting all cleaned up to go in! Also, my new headliner came in. My truck has never had one so should make for a great upgrade!

Okay after a lot of research and one very good deal I was able to secure some tires! What I got: A set of 4 (Dick Cepek Extreme Country, 35x12.50x15) on 15x8 level 8 tracker wheels. Got 5 rims out of the deal so not too shabby if I wanted to get a full-size spare. 5th rim has never been used and was still in the box! Tires seem pretty good shape for being used. They also have a TPMS sensor in them not that my Jeep could use it. Got the whole packet for 1000 bucks. I think I scored. Now these are a 5x5 bolt pattern and the jeep I think is a 5x4.5 bolt pattern so I will need to get some wheel spacers. I am debating between the washer-type wheel spacers which are cheaper or bolt-on wheel spacers (1.25") which would probably be better? I don't want the wheels to stick out too far from the jeep and look like a skateboard. Also, need to find a good lift that will work for these tires. If you guys have any recommendations I'll take them. I was thinking about going with General Springs military wrap 3/2 with some drop shackles for the rear and some Metal cloak true dual rate coils (4.5) in the front. Not sure how it would look but then try to balance the front and rear from there. Also looking for a good High over the top knuckle kits Iron road seemed best.

Okay if it is only 4 inches I might pass. -
Thanks for the help! Pushing the wheel out would add backspacing correct?
-
Also have a TPMS sensors not sure what the means.

Need some advice on tires and wheels. I don't know much. Found a deal of: 35'' tires they are (Dick Cepek Extreme Country 35x12.50x15) on 15x8 level 8 tracker wheels. Bolt pattern is 5x5 will those fit the MJ's bolt pattern? Anyone ever have these kinds of tires? Price was 1200 for 5 tires and 5 rims. For 35's I was going to jump on it if they fit. Thanks for the help.

How much are they going for? Looking for about 5 inches of lift.
