It def helps to have an extra set of hands for sure, the hardest nut for sure is the upper ball joint since u can only get a wrench on it and not a socket, a cheater bar helps. Also from personal experience i wouldn't take anything off all the way just loosen everything it tells u to and its a lot easier, and yes go get it aligned afterwards to make sure the tie rods and everything are correct and tight (mine was off on one side for whatever reason).
More pics, in pic 2 it shows a good idea where it rubs when u reverse and turn, it barely hits that button screw at the bottom but that can be fixed and as u can see theres more room than expected towards the front, i trimmed just to be safe
Be careful with Fuel wheels, not saying all of them do this but theres been a bunch of ppl complaining about them cracking and not holding up off road and this was told to me by several tire guys that would know
Tanner you're correct it sometimes depends on the tire and the how thick it is. The guy told me that if i went above anything more than +6 offset that my tires would rub the sway bar and i believe it. and yes at least 2" up front to clear 33's and the picture above hes running a 3" but i still dk how he doesnt rub unless the tread isnt very knobby. an 0 offset is the best way to go in my opinion
yes the backside of the liner rubs but i cut that out with a razor blade and it doesn't rub now. and yes you will need an offset , it won't fit with stock rims ur front end will need to come up at least 2"
Got them on today, they look great will post pics later. a very slight rub on the wheel well on the backside middle of the front tire, very minor trimming will fix it, theres no rub on the front fender side. tires stick out almost an inch outside fenders
will do, i also have a 2.25 level kit, the current tires I run are 33.75 tall and the new set they will run 34.25 and I calculated about 1" of easy clearance left so they shouldn't rub
I run cooper discoverer ATP with Xd's offset of +18 run run on 285-75-17.. this puts it just a hair outside of the fender but i say its dead even. putting on a new set monday going to a cooper st/maxx 295-70-18 TIS wheels with a 0 offset, it might rub a little not sure
