    Offsets, Backspace, and other wheel info

    When you say 4 inches of backspacing what does that mean in relation to offset on rims? I watched a few videos and can't figure out how to convert it but found a chart and it seems like it shows you have 0 mm offset would that be correct? https://www.wheelspecialists.com/wheel-specs

    Offsets, Backspace, and other wheel info

    I'm looking into getting new wheels to fit bigger tires and widen my stance for the offset on the rim would it be better to get 0 off-set or something more severe such as -6 or -12 offset if I'm able to find styles I like to be able to fit 265/75-r16 with doing around a 3.5 in lift

    Bigger tires, Wheel spacers, and lift height required

    When you said it's better to save up and get better wheels do you mean get wheels with negative offset or something around +3mm versus using wheel spacers because it's the proper way to do the stance? Also, what does a better wheel entail vs a stock one?

    Bigger tires, Wheel spacers, and lift height required

    I have done a multitude of research and have found lots but most pertain to no lift or less than a 2.5-inch lift and none have touched the subject of wheel spacers allowing for clearance from the arms and struts. Or one's openness to trim the front bumper. What tire size are you rocking, have...

    Receiver hitch front bumper

    I mocked up and tacked a front hitch using the methods from a dirt lifestyle youtube video using 2 in and a quarter-inch square stock then had it burned in by a friend for 50 $ because my 110 welder was not strong enough and used grade 5 bolts to attach it underneath by tapping the square stock...

    Bigger tires, Wheel spacers, and lift height required

    I have a 06 gasser so there's probably a significant amount of spring droop. I currently have 245 75 r16s and a two-inch spacer lift, I have trimmed the front bumper and hammered in the pinch welds to open up the wheel well I am open to trimming more. I want to widen my stance so I'm looking to...

    Have to keep replacing both front cv axles on jeep liberty

    You might be able to get away with just upgrading the front clevis fork to a jeep liberty KK 08,09 or 2011 one because it will give you a .75 lift with the 08 and 09 and a 1in lift with the 2011 one. More have done the 08,09-year swap on a kJ as the forks are made differently one is stamped and...

    Detroit Truetrac - Speed Sensor

    I have a 06 KJ Sport I thought I had this figured out is the rear axle an 8.25 Chrysler or a dana 35 on Amazon it says the axle is a Dana 35 27 spline. Can anyone clarify why there is so much confusion? https://www.amazon.com/Eaton-912A569-Detroit-Truetrac-Differential/dp/B001GC7FC2

    Groaning, grinding noise from rear.

    Check the rear pinion seal I had similar symptoms and it was because I was low on oil in the rear diff because my seal broke so my rear diff would catch and bind then free up causing me to increase the amount of pressure I put on the gas pedal. I was told is normal with lifted vehicles due to...

    What is the best option out there for mechanical fan clutches?

    I have looked through 15-20 different forums and have found lots and am just looking for some confirmation. When upgrading the cooling system of a 2006 KJ Sport it's best to go with the Chrysler 11 blade nylon Radiator #52079654AD probably going to go with the Dorman version. Then for the Fan...

    Roof Rack w/ Tire Carrier and built-in LEDs

    I would not recommend putting the tire on top of the roof because it raises your vehicle's center of gravity there are options that can raise the tire up if it's the first thing hitting affects your departure angle without having to spend an arm or leg for a steel bumper. don't know if kk are as...
