Various locations here near Denver, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain Colorado... I did get the carrier because I broke some welds on my tailgate with the added weight. Two things you can do to help is make sure your spare is not moving at all and also make sure your tire pressure is near 28. Mine was too high and rattled hard when I hit bumps which I think helped speed up the process. Also, the combination of Teraflex reloca bracket and daystar bumpstops did not work for me, so try another setup if needed. either way, I'd still recommend a carrier sooner rather than later. do a search on here and you'll find the thread with my comments on the tailgate.

I didn't trim the pinch seams yet. they are ok, but close. your tires look like they measure a 1/2 inch larger than mine so you should be ok. I'm going to trim mine when it warms up, just as a precaution.

Good call on the mounting of the tires. Discount wouldn't do it in Denver, so I went to Big O where the staff is full of Jeepers. They did it no problem and even checked my torque on the spacers and also centered my steer wheel. Great group of guys there..

I do have a great tire shop here that will do pretty much anything with no questions asked. I was a little worried about the tires being to wide for the wheels but, there are a couple people on the site that are running similar setups and told me to run 30psi front and 28psi rear and I would be fine. Does the air dam have a real function on the Jeep? I have also programmed with the Superchip and I am hoping it gives me enough umf to turn the tires ok. I was lucky enough to have 410's factory so I have been told it should not be a total dog.

I haven't read anywhere that the airdam does anything besides help (minimally) with aerodynamics and very minor protection. I also have4:10s and although not great, its not that big of a deal. I'll regear one day, probably not soon though.

It serves as a high tech off road aid. It makes an audible warning crunch when rocks or obstacles get to close to the sway bar.

sounds like a plus for you, either cheap extensions are coming your way. If they don't I would just drop a little more and get shocks. I'm not big on extending shocks when you can get new ones that are longer for very little cost.

Sounds like a great setup and is similar to mine.. Make sure the tire shop:

1) pulls off the retainer clips on the hub before install.
2) uses the lock tight provided with the spacers or RED lock tite.

As for the airdam you can probably get buy with trimming the corners. May need a washer in the steering stops if your rubbing more than that.

Good luck, glad to see a member setup and send the needed parts. That is what is so cool about this site.

No Doubt! This is this the best site for information and really good opinions! I will be installing the spacers myself when I put the lift on then I will drive it over to the tire shop for them to mount and balance the new shoes. I will try to trim the airdam first then see how it looks.
