Max tire allotment indeed....>:)
(Full disclosure this is a 4.5" lift....not nearly as simple or straightforward as the 2" install, but just as stout.)





And it takes a beating and keeps on keepin'-on! No complaints from this customer whatsoever...




Ok, thats all....just had to give Pat some props real quick. He is a great guy to work with and builds his kits strong and smart. He really is trying to build the best product out there, not the cheapest.

Welcome to the forums as a vendor buddy.....lets get talking about bumpers and racks sometime! :grin2:

I must have over looked this.. Sorry.. It will all depend on where your rear tire sit right now and if they can afford to move any further without spacing the rear.
The reason why prinitive didn't right now have anything over the 32mm along with anyone else until now is that no one have pushed the envelope more than I have. I was the first to install a full 2" rear alignment spacer and coresponding hardware and parts... I must have done something right because now everyone is making them lol.

Could you send me some pictures of the rear tires and how much clearance there is between the tire and the fender?

From what I can tell the 32mm (~1.26") is the only rear alignment spacer size that they have available for the SJ and so I'm assuming that's what I have on my ride. Maybe they only offer that size because it is a happy medium between a 1.0" to 1.5" spacer lift, which I believe is the max they recommend.

I'm currently running 235/65 R17 (29.1" diameter) tires with their lift and rear re-center spacers and the tires seem to fit in there pretty centered. In the pic below you can see how I maybe would have been cutting it close had I not done the realignment kit with the tires I'm running:

So yeah my question is do you think I would be alright just adding your 2.0" lift spacers and not your re-aligment kit with my current setup? I might eventually size up in tires to 245/65 17 or maybe even 255/65 17. I'm guessing then it would definitely be more ideal to use your 2.0" subframe recenter kit as well? Basically for now I'm just trying to add some more lift at minimized cost if possible, since the shop that does the install for me will probably charge a few more hundred dollars to deal with the subframe stuff.

so true. call it mental ocd (ill consider it "higher"). i mean, i cant go to thick....seeing as the whole point is to be one of the lowest (non bagged...and actually functional, so no bottomed out coils, haha) SHs....haha.

Awesome looking ride with that lift and tires! What size tire exactly is that you're running?

Those are 235/75-R15's BFG KM2 Mud Terrains on 15x6.5+15 Braid FullRace wheels.

There is definitely some rubbing issues with this size tire....you will need to cut some plastic-ware and hammer the wells a bit. And even then at full squish you can still rub.
But if that stuff werent in the way, there would still be a good 3"+ of RADIUS I could fit under there with how high the spring perches sit now!

The strut bottom spacers are really a beautiful thing.

Hello!
I'm looking for some longer studs for the rear tophats of my SH. Do you sell individual parts at all? Looking to pull off basically up to an inch worth of butt spacer as well as the mount for a rear strut bar.any info/suggestions/options would be great.
