do those jeep wheels rub at all, im pretty sure the ranger wheels have less back space(?) making them stick out further.

they do rub when you crank them, probably at 90% crank. i need new ones really bad to make my tires stick out a little, but i might get wider axles instead so we will see

ok just a small update so you guys know my truck is getting something. I got my front axle tore down so I can switch the tubes. also got transfer case and one link brackets started, and desighns for my crossmember finally made up. also put a lunchbox in the carrier.
here is the case with the brackets


axle


looks like all i got to do is drill out these few holes then the tubes should come right out. only problem is my drill bits aren't sharp enough, so i have to haul it down to school and use theres, or maybe plasma it if that don't work.

Ok, I read through your whole thread and Im confused. What axle are you using? Why did you switch it to passenger side drop? And what t-case you usin to work with your passenger side drop axle? And it looks like you are sagging heavily on your driver side.

maybe he horribly ****ed up and mounted the coil spring perches on the bottom of the axle so when he put it in her it had to be this way and now when he looks at the pics hes gonna be like AHHHHHHH WTF GOD DAMNIT.
