That helps, thank you. Another member posted the 33's don't rub so I am hoping the 34" tires will not rub, or rub slightly. I will post the results of the trip. I may be contacting Northridge once I get bigger tires...we shall see. I forgot that my brother in law has a 1" coil spacer up front...I don't but I have stock size tires.

I was running 35" tires with my OME and I rubbed all over the place. I would recommend bump stops if you are running 35" tires.

I added a few pics of where my little 295/75/16's are rubbing to my myproject-jk. (the pics were tiny when posting here, but should be viewable there?). You can see scrapes along the side of the tire from some plastic protrusions just inside the fender. Snipped em off, so hope they weren't too important.

Also put a few pics of the front and back of the spring/shock while stuffed. The spring is fully compressed, to the point that I can not see the bumpstop inside. Is there a way to tell just how much bumpstop I need to add?
