For those of you running aftermarket axles on your JK, what width is your axle? Are you running wheel spacers? If so, how wide? What's your rim and backpacing? What tire size are you running?

I am trying to figure out what width I might want. I'm looking to run 40s with no tire to frame contact preferred. I can either go 67" or 70". Factory width is 65.5 I believe.

Thanks for the input.

Um...what?

I run no front spacers and 3" total in the rear. My rear axle is stock width. My tires don't rub and are 40s. If I recall my wheels are .5" back space.

I believe the UD60s are 69", 8-lug, and full float rear. Tires are 38x13.50R18 Toyo on 4.5BS wheels. No spacers.

Thanks Kevin.

Brad, I'm assuming your .5 is offset not backspacing? If you have a 9" wheel, that would be 5" backspacing.

Um...what?

I hope you get beadlocks too.

Any idea what the axle width is for your RockeJocks?

68.75" wide per factory spec sheet for JK version

Your choice of tires, rims, backspacing will vary your overall dimensions.
