So, you are running 285s with 1/4 spacer up front alone, right? Would the 295 require more of a spacer? Remember that I running OME heavies with stock A-Arms.
I like the look of the KM2's. That's correct I'm running 285's with 1/4" spacers up front alone. As long as the 295's are 295/75 they shouldn't be any wider than the 285's and therefore all you should need is the 1/4" spacers and you should be fine. Might want to double check me on the measurements/ width of the 295's.

They are 11.73" wide, so I do believe they are wider than the 285s and taller. 33.27" tall.

I have been eyeballing the Nitto A/Ts. Summit's price is $169.95/ea and shipping is dirt cheap at $9/tire.

In that case you would probably need something just a little bigger as far as spacers go. But anything bigger than a 1/4 and you might as well make it good grad bolt on spacers.

Come on, REALLY? It seems like people are trying to run into ME lately, but I don't recall almost hitting an old lady. You need to pick up that 00' and we can all go wheel together. Of course I'll need to install a locker to keep up with you cool kids.

I ordered my rear coils and shocks from http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/ome4runner.htm and I've never had any problems.

But I wouldn't hesitate to order anything from ScottyC he is very helpful and a great vendor.

Update: I found a good deal on a nice TJM T-15 so I snatched it up and decided while I was at it I would go ahead and build my rear bumper. Rear bumper build is here https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...nstall-209808/

Hadn't seen the update on your rig yet. Looks great! Makes me almost miss that TJM... Glad it all worked out. Nice work on the rear bumper as well.

Love the "stealth" look. You need to powder coat the wheels black. Awesome looking rig!

What's up dude? Congrats on the wedding by the way, I'm sorry I couldn't make it - tickets are really expensive this time of year.

Rig is looking awesome man.

I fixed your YouTube video for you, it's embedded now.
