Hopefully they balanced well. Sometimes MTRs can take 10-12oz of weight to balance, but sometimes they take just 2-4 oz to balance. MY 40" TGs took 3-4oz each (roadforce balanced) which I did not think was bad at all for their size and they are dead smooth at any speeds I go.

The weights on mine can be measured in pounds... :bawling:

Ouch.......
I'll get a picture of the weight when I pick them up for everyone.

here are the pictures! There wasn't that much weight needed to balance he tires. So that was nice to see.

Here's a piture of the tire that required the most weight.

And I finally put the tailgate back on.

Now I need to work on the fenders a little more.

Yeah - I'm loving the look so far. There is some minor rubbing when steering to full a full turn but I have not added spacers yet. I hope the spacers will take care of that. I also like the height and I have not added any JKU shocks yet. I need to see what happens when I flex it fully but I might be inclined to add bumpstops instead of the higher springs. Don't know yet though. I have the springs so I might change them for a while before trying bumpstops.

Looks good but definitely needs the new springs put in. If you trim the upper pinch seam more in the rear you should not need any bumpstop or just 1" at the most.

Edit I cut and folded mine in the rear to around the outside of this line (ignore my craptastic paint skills LOL)

Thanks for the feedback.

Terminator2 - You suggested using the new springs. I think I like the current look. Are you recommending the springs for the ability to use less int eh way of bumpstops or do you think I'd have other problems if stay with the the current setup?

Thanks.

You could use the extra room between those tires and the body and flares. Once you put the flares on and flex it you will see what I mean. Bumpstops needed will depend on how much you cut especially in the rear. The longer springs will give you about 1.5-2.0" more uptravel before tires touch anything and will allow for shocks in the 15" collapsed 26" extended range.

Thanks. I'll keep working on cutting the rear wheel well and try to get the springs on sometime soon.

Get new longer than stock shocks as well. A 14.5-15" collapsed 25-26" extended shock should work well and you could keep stock bumpstops with them as well.

What rear bumper is that?

It is a RiverRaider ProCrawler Rear bumper. I don't see it on there website anymore but you can see it on a few of the jeeps in their pictures.

I have not had any time in the past few weeks to do much at all. I was able to add some spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers and with one extra washer added to the steering stop I now have zero rubbing. I've been planning to line the interior with line-x for a while but now I'm also starting to think about doing the exterior to hide some of the imperfections in the metal work I have done. I like the black but I'm also thinking about blue so it might end up looking something like this over time.
