Nice. I really wanted the 301s or the Fuel Shoks (which seems like the alpha wheel), but not for over $1,200 I couldn't afford or justify it. Some day.
Yea can someone explain what this part is? Also I need to remove mine, is it as easy as removing the liner and unbolting it?
Sorry , yes I have a 2.5” lift in the front. Sitting on King shocks
Looked really annoying after the first two bolts, so I cut most of it off with a sawzall. From what I can tell it's just a lightweight piece to hold the inner skirt on. I'm gonna run a couple self tappers into it, because it's rubbing a little, then I should be great lock to lock, even under full flex.
Thanks. I did a 3" suspension specialist level.
Its a safety block that keeps the flippin tire off your feet during a front offset crash.
I think I’m gonna run the 34x10.5” BFG K02s. It’s the only tire in that size. 55lbs and actually measures out to 33.5”. A bit in the “pizza cutter” side of things, but tall and just wide enough. Not sure if I’m gonna run them on a negative offset wheel though..... That’s a lot of poke!
Tires only rub on full lock so I’m going to keep the block for now , barely any rubbing on the liner . Going off-roading tomorrow so I can finally see how the new wheels/tires perform.
Talking about the plastic block, not the crash bars.
I was referring to the "Block" and not the crash bars. It works in tandem with the crash bars. Tire hits crash bar, crash bar moves back into block, block helps to prevent the cab from completely crushing in the foot well and helps to evenly disperse the impact.
I agree, good choice. Ultimately I did have to get the fender flares to cut down on the road rash. Glad I did, it really helps.
This is a BFG 285/70/17 KO2 on a 8.5x17 wheel with a -12 offset. It's perfect IMO. Might end up getting the stock looking flares, but don't need them that badly. It's not as obnoxious as I thought it would be.
Looks great, man! Just to confirm, you ended up going with 285/70R17s instead of the 285/75R17?

Yessah! Still a little rubbing in reverse on the rear wheel well, but I should have that fixed soon.
285/70/17 +1 offset. Stock height I only rubbed a tad at full lock going in reverse. Now that I'm leveled no rubbing at all. Crash bars and blocks removed, plenty of space now.
