I just called 4wheelparts about installing these to Bill Staines at 2.8 and he said you have to install new upper control arms because the ball joints will fall out because of control arms are at such an angle is this true?

This my setup for now, Bils at 2.1 and running the 275/65R20 Wrangler Duratracs. Haven't found anything it really couldn't handle except for a random pot hole that knocked my alignment out. Winter is about to hit here in Alaska, so I'll be able to judge how she handles that soon. I'm pretty impressed with this setup so far except for my handling seems a bit on the soft side after I swapped tires. I did notice a few guys in the thread running these tires. What PSI do y'all have em set at?

Got mine installed last Friday, and aligned on Saturday..... now to get some more aggressive looking tires. I'm thinking I'll order some rear spacers cuz my front is just a little bit higher then the rear so some 3/4" or 1" spacers should cure it. Figure I'll drive it for a little while and see if the front settles any first.

Also, included my alignment sheet in case anyone is interested.

How far do your wheels stick out from the fender wells? This is the look I'm wanting on my 2016 1500

Bils & spacers go on tomorrow morning. Pay your respects to the low-lifestyle, it will not be missed
