If you want to go off road you want more side wall

Jes,

I would have guess you were working for RE & not URF:dunno:

You'll also need this...
http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Products.aspx?pn=1806&Vid=D3EB974800795

and a thunderbird yoke and a front driveshaft....and friends that know what they are doing to help install all this stuff...and beer and pizza for those friends...

Good luck,
Tom

Ow, that really hurt... :cry:











Seriously though, even though I would never run Rubicon Express parts(on purpose anyway) I do think they are the only company to buy from if you want a complete "beginner" type kit. Their parts are solid for entry level use.

Why dont you like RE parts? I can understand not liking their long arms, but everything else seems to be fine.
Not up to par with URF obviously, but close.

thanks for the help appriciated

They do sell good springs and I like their Super-flex joints but they have poor customer service. Like I said, for entry level use their stuff is fine.
For me however, their parts simply don't/didn't hold up over time.

But what parts do hold up?

I would take RE over Rusty's or Pro-Crap!

URF.

And yes, if I had a need for bolt-on stuff I would go with RE over those others.

X2 - RE is the way to go. Complete kits. Call David at Northridge 4x4 (360) 340-0828 and tell him you are a NAXJA member.

Why do you want 16 to 17 rims? 15x8 with 3.75" to 4.25" of Backspacing is what you want for 31's.

hey thanks for all your help. i appriciate it.
