Thanks Robar! I was't 100% sure how everything would work out with just a TeraFlex 2.5" BB but so far so good. Thanks to the extended bump stops that come with the TeraFlex kit, I think this setup will work just fine. The only real downside I have noticed so far is the power drain, but then... I have an appointment scheduled with Off Road Evolution on Monday to get 4.88's installed

Nice wheels, but may be a little biased .
I know you probably haven't tried them offroad yet, but what is your opinion of the Xtreme M/T's so far? I've noticed that they're significantly more expensice than similar tires.
Anyway, glad you ditched the stockers.

Well I guess you proved that 35s do fit on a BB. Tell us if you rub when you get it moving off road! Thanks for all the great info and I can't wait to read whatever you write up next .

The rear tire does stuff nicely on the BB though. With longer rear CA's 35's would be no problem. I had about 1" of clearance to the rear bumper so if the tire was centered in the wheel well there would be plenty of room.

Thanks guys
Hey stacey, I may or may not level the front end out as I really don't think the small rake looks that bad and I haven't had any issues with clearance/rubbing yet. Also, I will most likely be starting up the next phase of my build-up which will include the installation of a Full Traction 3" Ultimate Lift. As far as photos go, I'll see what I can do about posting something in the next couple of days.
Yeah, I've been eyeing that pinch seam and have my sawzall ready to go
Yeah, these tires are nice but they do seem to sing a lot more than the BFG's. I will be sure to keep you all updated with the 4.88's

You might need to break out the trusty sawzall or big hammer for that pesky body seam.
