New Weld Racing Wheels 17x9 0 offset with Micky Thompson Baja At 37x12.50x17.

How’s the on road feel of the Baja Boss’?

Right now, after more research, think I want a hybrid tire, so I’ve moved on from BFG K02 and KM3, since I don’t need those really, and now on to the Baja Boss or the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Don‘t think I could go wrong with either, but since you have them, thought I’d ask.

Absolute awesome tire soo far, I haven't had them off road yet but I am not worried they will destroy the KO2s and I will no longer have slipping issues. The MTs were also cheaper then graplers or recons and carry a 50k warranty along with peak rating if you need that.

Installed tailgate limiter by @Mountains2Metal. Mostly protecting these expensive taillights specially if you open the door on a passenger side slope.

Do you need one of these to protect taillights in a stock configuration (factory wheel/tire)?

no still chassis mounted but the brackets are very stout.

I’m ”looking at the RCI” with a similar design that are frame mounted, but they’re $1200, which is why I haven’t purchased yet either.

Once I have those, think I’m about done until time for new tires.

12.03.23

Added Foutz Motorsports (FMI) collars. Overall change is 3/4" rear lift and 2" front lift utilizing a 1" rear collar and 1.5" front collar soo effectively a small lift plus level change and removes the excessive front rake.

Look great. Do you happen to have the before and after shot of the bubble level?

I don't but I did do measurements before all over the place, the most accurate was the bottom of the hitch to ground and top of front bumper. The front obliviously moved big time and wasn't expecting it that much but the math makes sense. With all the side pics I have you can see the flare gap change big time, went from 6.5 to about 8.5-8 5/8. Just started driving it today so I will recheck after some miles to make sure its all settled.
