[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 457047, member: 19161"] Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't broken something yet. Your current set-up is a recipe for a multi-thousand dollar repair bill in your future. And I will echo everything already said: 1. Correct wheels to accommodate those tires with proper backspacing (4.5") 2. Lose the spacers. They void just about any warranty and you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to work on your front end. 3. Costly, maybe, but beef up the axles. A stock axle is good for anything up to a 35. Beyond that, some mods are needed and, as stated above, with a 40, a whole new axle front and back is the proper way to go. If I'm being brutally honest, 1 day of trails with your current configuration may result in a week in the shop, if the parts are available. And who wants a JK that is ready to drive less than 20% of the time? Another question and another list of possibilities: what kind of transmission and gears are you running? [/QUOTE]
