Exactly.... they're a pretty practical tire size. As long as they're not worn funny they do fine at 75mph.

Little update...got some new shocks in

Little update...got some new shocks in

PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!

What size did you end up going with for the shocks? Whatever you have is probably going to be identical to what I order.

I went with 11" travel, 28" extended. I will certainly update you when I have them installed. Waiting on my paragon 6" extended brake lines first...

Zack nice build man! I can not believe I have not seen this until now.....
ordering some Stainless Steel Bushcables for my LR

Thanks David! I have done tons of things but this thread only shows a couple. I'll update when I can.

Rear RTE springs and shocks are in. As well as the +6" custom SS brake lines. Very happy with the results, only slight modifications required.

New bumper and winch installed, very happy with the setup. Will be cutting the sheet of aluminum I picked up for the new skid plate.

The bumper looks really good on there

 

[ZG]

Thanks Kent, I appreciate the insight you gave me! Can't wait to cut the sheet of aluminum I just got for the new skid.

It looks like you may have trimmed the wheel well area of the bumper. Is that the case? If so will you take a few pictures? My tires touched the bumper when I was in Moab two weeks ago.

Thanks,

KENT

I did trim, and was going to plate it but it was at the blaster and he coated it before I could plate it.

I'll take photos, I probably would have trimmed less if I did it again.

Cut the sheet of aluminum I got into the design of the original skid, did a better job than I expected... (done with a cut-off wheel)

 

[Howski]

Do you have HD steering arms or do you solely rely on the skid plate for protecting them?

 

[ZG]

HD arms, skid plates don't really do much.
