That CV shaft angle looks.... Horrifying. What does it look like at ride height? Doesn't the JMR lift kit come with brackets to drop the differential too?

Cool

Crazy angle eh. Ya the CVs are at a perfect level at ride height though. ALL the brackets are installed which dropped the front differential. That pic was taken when I had the truck on a two post hoist where the tire was hanging all the way down. Now, JMR does have high angle CVs for offroading, which could be on the wish list soon.

Hi, need some help. Anyone have thoughts on removing the swaybar on the dakota with a jmr lift kit? I never removed mine, but now came the first problem. I believe I have broken the end link (have attached some pictures) so thinking of getting a new one or removing the sway bar all together, some say remove some say don't? I know for heavy offroading you have to remove it, but I was just doing light trails and it broke. Can't get ahold of anybody at jmr to see if i have to get the part from them or if i can get it locally. anyways any info would be great thanks.

265 x 70 is 185.5 mm ( aspect ratio)
265 x 75 is 198.75. Mm.
Difference is 13.25 mm
25.4 mm per inch. Slightly more than a 1/2 inch. But 265-70-16s fit with no lift no trimming? Such a small difference?
I want dick capeks fun country 11s. Only available in 265-75.
Any input would be appreciated.
