35" Pitbull Rockers and Cumburg UCA's en route!
Just called and ordered my 35x12.50R17 Puitbull Rocker Radials from Discount Tire. 2-3 days shipping and then time to bring out the big hammer maybe the saw! I refuse to rock a body lift. And then the Camburg UCA's should be in. No more weak creaking ball joints! I'm one wheel bearing away from having a completely new front end.
Pics will be up as soon as I get parts.

good luck with those beefy sob's... I hope you took into consideration that those tires are actual 35's. Pitbull tires are usually spot on compared to like a 35" km2 which is more like a 34(ish)

Im still rockin the factory 4.30 gears but the R150F 5spd trans gears are quite a bit shorter. I think the auto 1st gear is 2.8:1 and mine is 3.8:1 something like that. It almost evens out by 5th gear. Ill see how she feels and then maybe 4.88s with a front locker. Since the trans swap I've been a lot easier on her, normally shifting at 2k. Wierd how the gas milage improves when driven right.
I know theyre gonna be true 35s so im gonna remove my fender flares and door cladding. Then after all the rubbing is solved I'll do bed liner again as close as I can to the original lines.
I was going for the KM2s but I'm always the loner around here. Seems like everyone has em so did my normal thing....go big or go home! Only cost twice as much as originally planned but oh well. Had to have 17s.

I have true 35 inch goodyear muds on 15" wheels, and they rub alittle still with cutting the firewall back. I cut so much out, my door trim peices on the floor dont fit good anymore. In the back you can only trim so much of your fender before you get into your rear door. I moved the axle back about 3/4" inch so I could cut more out of the back of the radius of the fender. Good luck.

That's a good point. Looks like I'm gonna need a longer drive shaft too. I'm already missing out on 1 inch from the trans swap. Did you have to get a new shaft or just use a spacer?

Got the new shoes on Saturday morning and went wheeling/camping right after install. I ended up having grind a big chunk out of my UCA to keep the sidewall out of it. It's fine for right now in a straight line but still hits with light steering. Once the new UCA's are in then I'll be able to start working the body clearance issues. The rear is gonna be pretty easy but can't tell about the front yet.
Here's the pics finally (Samsung Galaxie S II Skyrocket)
Buddies Jeep stuck in the first hole that I putted through in 2wd, love these tires!
