kyb are great as well, but I prefer Rancho lol, a tad more expensive, but WELL worth the money. $50 a shock, all the way up to $200 a shock...they mean business

Moogs for sure. I just swaped in Procomp 3000s. About as big body as you can go with out rubbing shock body. Ran them on 75 suburban for years so they will hold up to my abuse. Ran these at 50mph in the desert, no problems. I would go 10 wide, my 8.5s crown the BFG A/T so I run lower psi(28-30) to even the tread out. That offset sounds right ask tire shop.


Forklift test was on 33s The others or 35s two weeks ago on a nice 70 degree day.
now its windy and cooler with no chance of snow. lol

Sorry, ive been busy working on the house lately. Preppin for a baby boy in april and putting the house up for sale in the summer. So far $35,000. spent, should get me $2,000. higher asking price

I'll have to see if i cant dig up my old rims out of the shed to measure the BS, they are def 10 wide, and im thinking 4 for bs. Cant remember but i know they stuck out enough to keep my paint dirty from road debris .

I looked around and found 2" blocks for the rear, anyone use them or have an opinion on them?
I think it would be better than the shackles, it just seems more stable.

Its going the wrong way! Is your axle on the spring or under? You will go 2" lower if stock location. If your going to wheel its not the right choice. Seen 1" block on xj come apart. Flip the axle for 5"+ Get a good set of springs made you will be happier.
