Need help putting 285/70/17 on xk with ome hd

Thanks. I will look tomorrow, but is it the heat lines that is outwards ? They seem easier to delete than the ac. Maybe deleting just these and cutting the corner of the bracket would be enough... Im going to put on my 255/75/17 mt's. They are just a little smaller than the 285s and measure how much cutting I need. Did get the rear guard on today so atleast something got done

It's the coolant lines that are outboard. I'm thinking re-routing them is the easiest and the A/C lines are probably alright where they are.



FWIW, I would NOT recommend the RRO arms. Their production is not consistent and theres a good chance you'll get arms made incorrectly that causes the bushings to separate. They also use jeep liberty bushings which are smaller/weaker than XK bushings.... not exactly an "upgrade" IMO. The JBA arms were also recently redesigned/optimized. They're worth the few extra bucks.

Believe it or not a 285/70 is quite a jump from 255/75's. It's not just the height of the tire, but also the width that causes rubbing
