Looks good! What size spacers are you running?

[WVUwheeler]

looks good

[AZRockRunner]

looks like some SERIOUS trimming is neededin the rear to avoid cutting those purdy tires.
BUT DAMN, that is a good looking tire.

2"

thanks all

[xjmania]

Looks really good...how much lift are you running?

[HeavyMetal]

right now its an RE 4.5 superflex kit

[Vanquish]

Poor wheelbearings...

[Kittrell]

Poor wheelbearings...

Agreed, hangin' some 35s off a 2" spacer, yikes.

[HeavyMetal]

why not explain how its different than any other XJ on 3.5 BS?

oh? it isnt? lol lets not go there..unless of course you can prove your spacer theory

[black2door]

AWESOME alex. props to this man right here for givin me a good deal on the ravine wheels :yelclap:

id love to see the pics when theyre up. shoot em up on the SIS website too.

...you think youre down for paragon end of the month still?

[CaptTrev]

looks really good!

I didnt know Cooper made tires that cool!

[Burton58]

yeah i'm still down as long as nothing comes up. i need to go do some trimming right now and hopefully take her on its maiden voyage into the woods

[Kittrell]

Nevermind, I'm just not even gonna bother.

[HeavyMetal]

I'll also venture to guess your spacers aren't hub and wheel centric. Spacers have their place, past 1.25" with 35s is not it.
Why would you venture that guess? (wrong)

As far as im concerned youre just keyboard wheeling, because ive run a similar setup for a long time with no ill issues and have some clubmates with the same experience with similar tires, in some cases even larger.

And even so, so what? So bearings may wear quicker, that is going to be the case with any sort of extra leverage.

your edit was too slow there, skip.

[Kittrell]

Maybe too slow for it not to be quoted, but not to say what I wanted it to.

Have a good one...........NAXJA

[FitchVA]

looks badass dude!

[Ghost]

Yea they make that tire up to a 37. I almost got a set. But when it came time to buy I went with Iroc's and saved $$$.

Yeah running 3.75: backspacing vs 5" backspacing and spacers is all the same. (You only NEED 1.25 spacers though)

Looks good mang joining the 35s on RE 4.5" crew haha. Looks like you just gotta do the ole cut and fold method finally on the rear, its fun :D I just added a .75" spacer up front and its perfecto.

[pipes94xj]

Looks great. I have the older STTs and they just have about 30,000 on em. They need replaced real soon but I think I'm gonna go with the STTs again vs. the TrXus MT. No balancing issuses and I get them $2 over wholesale =)

you got it, cut and fold goodness to come :D thanks for the good words

[DreamsOfMoab]

Great looking tire! Where did you get them?

[xjmania]

You said you got them balanced just like any other tire needs to be, but Im having a hard time around here finding a shop that will balance anything over 33's. Anybody else run into this problem?

[Krazors001]

Lookin good Man. Making me look smaller and smaller. At least mine is muddier right now

[kj139]

I'm glad you posted this. I have the same lift and was considering those same tires. Now it's a no-brainer. Where did you get your rear light housings?

[black2door]

Im pretty sure there FullsizeXJ housings with led's http://www.fullsizexjgear.com/Products.html
