    Strut Dissasembly

    Actually not that bad. Did my install last weekend and realized that my loan-a-tool strut compressor would not fit between the old coils. but would fit between the OME coils. So i spun the nut off with an impact gun and proceeded. no huge drama, just stayed parallell with it,not at either...

    tire size options

    how bad ? undriveable ? ths is my DD and i am not worried about a little rub, dont need an off road juggernaut, i am willing to forsake some flex to have the most tire stuffed into the wheel well. will do the pinch weld mod.

    tire size options

    Im wondering if anyone has tried to get a 265/65/17 under their lifted kj .or 265/70 on a 16" wheel. because ive read that i can get a 245/70/17 duratrac under a kj with, lets say, an OME med./Bilstein lift(which i have) and the yokohama's in 265/65/17 are close to specs of smaller 245...

    wheel stud/ lug nut disaster.

    thats what i thought the plan was, pull the cap to expose the nut, i have a lug on my RF that is like that.actually that is what twisted in the first place , just the end that doesnt have the nut underneath, alot of people dont realize the actual nut is only half the size of the whole thing that...

    New Gears

    u never have to. woulld still be beneficial performance wisethough, akin to adding like 20-30 ftlbs torque, i would think. trade off would be lower top speed, no biggie.
