I helped Rob a little this weekend high lining his front fenders. All I can say is that there is no way to fit a 40" tire in a Jeep wheel well. Even with the high line fenders, which is like adding 3 more inches of lift, the tires are going to rub. Don't even think about fitting them in the back without comp cutting. Those are some monster tires :hack:

Offline Pics? You're asking the wrong guy. Hopefully Rob will post some. Those tires look awsome 😈

Offline Thanks for the hekp John and Troy. I still have a few more things to relocate under the hood, but I welded up some new battery brackets today and got the battery back in and hooked up.. John, want to bet that I can make those tires work without comp cutting 😈
Non comp cut rig running 40's with the same 4.5 lift and stretch I am running

Offline Those pictures also show front fenders that aren't high-lined...and we saw how well that was going to work 
Your tires are bigger than those 40s shown in those pictures. But, I hope it works because if I win the lottery, I'd want to do it too.

Offline Okay Master [Toy] Yoda...
I'm really bummed they aren't making a 37x15 MT/R 👿
Looks like my future tire may be an Irok.

Offline I'd say we can start a Posse letter writing campaign, but it's like pulling teeth just trying to get these guys to write on this forum. This place is slooow 
and it's wheeling season.

You don't think a two person letter campaign would be very convincing?

Offline Why don't you guys write someone a letter convicing them to by my Dana 44 😀

Any time, thanks for letting me use the welder - I'll bring you by a new roll of .035

Offline High lining the fenders is nice once it is all done, but let me warn you, it is not an easy job. You have to relocate the battery, all of your emissions canisters, and several other items. My windshield washer fluid is gone forever. There is no where to put it. Tools you will need are a welder, plenty of scrap metal to make all new brackets, cutting tools, drills, grinders, and a lack of common sense. This is the last high line fender job I am doing. It has taken three days and I still don't have it all back together. If you run a big air compressor under the hood, you won't after you do this. The only compressor that fits under the hood now is an ARB compressor. Not sure what I am going to do with my “Extreme air” compressor I took out. Probably sell it.
This is only ¼ of what I still need to do to make the 40’s fit with only 4.5 inches of lift.

Offline So what's the final verdict on the back? Comp cut or open the wheel well further? :hack: You already know the route I'd take 😉

Or a friend with a little common sense to keep you from cutting out bubbles and inner fenders. Just lift it up with straps

Offline I wouldn't bet on me running LS this year unless it is in your Jeep. I somehow doubt I will be wheeling my Jeep until this time next year 🙁
