You really can't compare his tie rod clearance to yours. Matt has oem steering knuckles. You have the superlift steering knuckles which raises the attachment point for the outer tie rod.Originally Posted by TrialByFire

Like them a lot. We'll see how the tires handle wheeling at the end of the month. Not a lot of compliments because I don't drive the XK much during the week.
Thanks!
Not sure how the tie rod clearance will be with the superlift but I expect it should be good based off your pictures... another 1/2" of clearance beyond what you had should be plenty
Put the Yakima tire mount on today. The bars must be a larger diameter than the yakima bars; although properly spaced, the hardware wasn't long enough. I drilled out the holes and used some 1/4-20 fasteners instead.
Just need to get a padlock now. Not that someone is likely to steal this thing.... but theres no reason not to put it on.
Looks great, you will like how stable it is. When I was going thru the rock gardens not long ago the tire did not move at all. I am surprised that you had to replace the hardware. Mine fit just fine.

That is weird...maybe I got a pack with the wrong sized bolts.... wasn't a huge problem, 3 minutes with the drill and I was good.
If the superlift isn't available soon ill be going with the SA rear bumper so I don't expect it to be up there too long. I really need that room for cargo on family trips.
How did i miss this? Looks great! Out of curiosity....what did you do with your ATX wheels?

Thanks!
The ATXs went on one of my friend's commanders.
Ah word. What was the cause for the wheel/tire change out of curiosity?

Long story short, prepping for the superlift. "Need" the 18s to run enough backspace for biggest tires possible and prevent rubbing on firewall
Sweet, cant wait to see it with the superlift.
