Ever since I went to 35s I took my fender flares off. Right now they don't rub but want to find a way to put them back on. He is some pics of clearance with 35s. The other picture is my truck with RTR Fender Flares on 33s.

Took my bed rack off to see if my MPG goes up. Also, working on a custom cargo box for quick access to my recovery gear.

Lots of folks here have been curious as to what happens when you get the alternator into deep mud. You are clearly able to speak to that lol.

Well rear is meant to be maxed with option 3. The front isn't maxed out yet (2.1in threads showing) (max is 2.25). As long as you have aftermarket UCA and a proper alignment it doesn't affect ride or drivability. It's a little stiff on the street but rides like butter offroad. Truck handles better now than it did stock.

I carry a spare with me. It'll eventually happen. Florida mud has killed a couple Ranger alternators.
