The ones in my link are available in 2 or 3" diameters. Just order the 3" diameter ones :p

So it turns out I only had 2 inch bump stop spacers installed, not 3 inch. Well now I have 4 inch bump stop spacers, 4 inch Superlift springs, drop down brackets for the brake lines, extended my sway bar end links and track bar. Just waiting on the bushings for the shocks so I can install them. Stage 2 complete, next up 34 inch tires!!!!
So the rear was sitting at 39 inches from the ground to the flares on both sides when I measured after install last night. I just measured again this morning to see if anything settled from the ride home last night and now the drivers side is at 38 1/2 and the passenger side is still at 39 inches. I didn't get gas or anything so not sure why I lost 1/2 inch on the drivers side only. I hate to say it Kyle but I might need to reinstall Matts 1/2 inch rear lift spacer on the drivers side to get that 1/2 inch back. Especially because I only have 1/4 tank of gas!
How's it look with the cut front? Need more pics!
Filled the gas tank, remeasured and I'm sitting just under 39 inches on the drivers side now. I'm confused as to how that happened but whatever. Matt I think it looks awesome now with the cut fenders and lifted rear. I'll try to get pics in the next few days. By the time I get out of work its dark!
Tires are getting ordered tomorrow after work!
Tires are ordered! Now let's just hope and pray they clear where the UCA ball joint bolts to the steering knuckle. It's going to be close since they are such a tall tire with stock steering knuckles.
This is kind of a dark picture but this is with my current 33's. The 34's are obviously an inch taller and approx 3/4 of an inch wider.

Looks like you have plenty of room... the closest part of the tire will only be about 1/2" closer than you currently see.
Im going big tmrw.. 240 will be gone and a new Jeep will enter the family..
The mechanic just gave me a thumbs up! 34's clear the steering knuckle/ball joint bolt! Pics to follow once it's finished!
I dont know but I think I may be more pumped for this than you Adam!!!
Could use some Superlift lower control arms and adjustable uppers to center the rear tires in the wheel wells

Looks so badass!
Rear tires look OK to me. After all, they will rotate back upon compression.
Nice rig, Adam! In the pictures, the fender trim came out nice. I'd like to see in person someday. :)
Wow man that's awesome.... talking about pushing the limits!
Awesome man!!

Thanks guys! I have absolutely no rubbing anywhere during normal driving and can turn the wheel full lock both ways with room to spare. Lekmedm I'll flex it out tomorrow but like you said as the rear compresses the tire will go backwards so it shouldn't be an issue. The 4.7 liter does quite well with the 34's but I wish I had some better brakes. Those EBC pads and rotors would be great right about now but way to expensive. I have adaptive 1 pads and premium rotors. Can anyone suggest a pad for better stopping power when running larger tires?
Looks great man!

Thanks! My jeep is almost as badass as yours now!
Adam, are the brakes for a HEMI same as yours? Maybe upgrade a 3/4 ram brakes would be a simple switch? Only other thing I could think of is doing an SRT8 upgrade if you find a set in a JY

SRT brakes would require larger wheels which is not an option. I just need a better biting pad and rotors to match. Hemi uses the same brakes as mine
You may have to look into the EBCs or Stillens, just dont get the slotted rotors..
Why not slotted? I'd take slotted over drilled any day. EBC has dimpled and slotted but are crazy expensive
We've had this discussion on here about slotted or drilled off road and **** getting stuck in there. Not sure it'd be an issue but the whole idea of slotted and/or drilled is to dissipate heat and unless youre increasing the rotor there's not much stopping POWER provided, that is unless youre constantly braking hard which youre clearing not doing with 34" MTRs!! I'd look into upgraded pads and blank rotors personally thats just my opinion.. Previously on cars like the 240s Ive put slotted/drilled rotors and had worse braking even with brembo's, so Ive always stuck to good blank rotors and the best pads I could find.. Just my 2cents
By the way you brought up a good point on facebook.. You think you'll be more prone snapping a CV due to the 34s?
For rotors I stick with Centric performance grade. They're cryogenically treated which help with wear, geometric stability during heat cycles and rust prevention. Ive installed them on countless vehicles and never a complaint..... and they're all ive ever run on my vehicles as well, including every lifted rig. They're very affordable as well.
For pads I always run Akebono ProACT Ultras and again, always impressed. For your case though id be interested in the Akebono Performance Ultra pads (ASP1080 for the front and ASP1087 for the rear).
Where can I find these pads and rotors Matt? Local store or is this something I'd have to purchase online
Matt, Rock auto only lists PROACT performance ultra pads. The part #'s are ACT1080 and ACT1087, not ASP 1080 and ASP 1087. So are you running the ultras or performance ultras? I'm cunfused cause rock auto only list performance ultras
Im running the ACT version that rockauto sells. Ive never sprung for the "better" ASP version since ive always been happy/impressed with the ProACT. Since you're looking at the best performance you can get at a reasonable price, id get the ASP version.
Rockauto might have the description incorrect. ...
ACT = ProACT Ultra (oem quality)
ASP = Performance Ultra (high performance grade)
Tirerack.com has the ASP 1080 and 1087. Looks like I'll give them a try. What's the part number for the centric rotors you use. I see they list several centric rotors on rockauto
CENTRIC Part # 12058001 for the Front
CENTRIC Part # 12058002 for the Rear
badass man..
Positive. There's not a 200% markup for brand naming or marketing. Those centric rotors are used in thousands of shops daily so you're also saving from economy of scale.
Ive been preaching for a long time on these forums that you guys are throwing money away with your brakes. Buy skids and other offroad goodies with the money you're saving. :)
Ok I'll take your word on them. I could use a black 4xguard front guard. I think it would look sick on my XK
Ive still got that SA belly skid, been to lazy to post up on JF
