Awe dude thats awesome, thanks so much!
You're going to love this kit! Yeah my 31x10.5 bfg fit great but i had to trim the front w my rotary tool. I want to trim more but never get around to it. I have 15x8 w 4.5" backspacing rock crawlers and with the trimming it rubs only when going at an angle into my steep driveway. So I just pull in tires straight lol so not sure if i could try a different backspacing or just trim more!
Since, ive had to replace both cv joints, both hubs, and the steering idler arm. my lower ball joints are going too. But I dont think the kit caused this stuff because the CV angles are great with the drop brackets. I think they just are all going since Im at 160k miles lol enjoy man!!!

Hey I love your Jimmy and doing the same to mine. Did you have any trouble removing the front diff to install new drop brackets?
