So just read through the whole thread (ugh).
Just wanted to verify some rough numbers from ya real quick since I'll be starting my tons swap with same tires here in next few weeks.
Front is 5.5" coils? Rear is?????? WB you have at 106 and do the tires actually measure close to 40 or are they more of a 37? Lol.
I'm planning on 6" front and slightly higher rear (unloaded to accommodate for being loaded) pretty much same WB (last rig was 106 on 37's and seemed to work well). And like you, looking at the mt2's to keep the funds in other areas.
Bad ass build, lots of notes taken.
Thanks man!
WB:
Actually, I need to double check WB, with the MJ leaves, the long Ruffstuff perches, and using the most rearward hole on the ruffstuff perches, I think I ended up at 103-104" depending on where I ended up putting my lowers. I try to measure tonight after work and post up.
Coils:
I am using a 6" PAC coil now, but the dude who welded the coil buckets on, welded them pretty high, so its like a 7-7.5" lift because of that. A 6" coil will be fine with the 40s, and I plan to eventually drop it down up front, but I needed the stiffer coil and the taller coils to help not kill shocks and add some On-road stability.
I am using a 12" short body 7100's, I re-valved them to 400/100.
Tires:
These 40s are very true to size, I believe they are 40", I can always measure again but they are huge compared to my old 37s. They are great on road and good enough offroad, I think once they wear in more they will get better. I think the rear traction bar is going to help a ton too. Ill measure tires as they sit now at 22psi which is my highway driving psi.
As for the rear leafs:
MJ bastard packs, with some 4-6" XJ leaves that already on the rig, shackle relocation boxes, and a 1.5" boomerang, I ended up with like 8-8.5" lift, but I haven't put all my gear and my spare tire in it, which adds like 500+ pounds, so I am sure it will be closer to 7.5" loaded.
