Hello. New guy here. Found a 1996 jimmy stored in a garage for ten years. No rust. Set up with a extra spring in the rear and keys cranked in the front. Have added new 31"tires, d window rims, 10" rear and 8" front, roof carrier, t-body mod. Plan on adding window visors, spare tire carrier, custom dual mandrel bent exhaust and zr2 flares for now. Will add pics as i go.

Welcome! Looking good. Did you get wheels with non-stock backspacing so that the front tires would not rub the frame when turned all to one side?

Yes. I selected a 4 inch backspace so they do sit out a bit. Did have to do some fender trimming tho.
and with the different rim width the front and rear stick out evenly
