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.

That set-up should work. You may have to pull off the plastic air dam in the front, but that's no big deal. Another issue you "might" run into is having the tires mounted. Some installers won't install wheel spacers and some will. Others might also have issue that your wheels aren't the "approved" width. I'd just call around a few places and ask. You may be better off at a small independent installer than a big chain store. Anyway, I do have the extensions. The fronts are still attached to the shocks, so I'm gonna have to spray them and hope they come apart. It looks like all the hardware is there also. If something is missing, you should have no problem finding a replacement at Home Depot or Lowes. I'd prefer Paypal to pay for the shipping. I think $10 should cover it.

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.

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.

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.
