LOL- autocorrect always bites me too.
It could have been worse and corrected it to "wacker fluid". :banana:

Ben with your 34s are you rubbing on the top of the fender well?

Only once when I accidentally jumped the rig... Not under any rock crawling circumstances.

Copy. Think it's time to rebuild some shocks.

Have you heard anything about BFG giving the 285/75/17 the axe? I was looking for a set, but they seem to be sold out everywhere last time I looked. Guess I'm gonna look into 35s and everything needed to get those wheelable.

They're only getting the axe for the next few months. They're making a slight change to the carcass on the tall/skinny sizes. (285/75/17 and 255/85/16). They will be back in July/August.

I know a few people haven't been able to get them. You might just want to go toyo m/t in that size or the nitto m/t. 34s seem perfect. The other tire on my list to try is the 305/70/17 Goodyear MTR. They are 34.4 and probably will be safer to run width wise than 35s.

I was looking into 305/70/17s but to a 35 gives so many more options when it comes to brands and tread patterns. The tire price is also very comparable too.
Still not 100% sure, but I think with a 1" body lift, some bump stops for the front and rear, cutting my body mounts back a little, a few other small things, I think I could make it work.
We'll see though.

I have no doubt you can make it work. It just would take about what you say to make sure that you don't bind or rub bad. Air bumps would be a nice upgrade... I think I could get 35s under without a 1" body lift. It would need the bump stops for sure. I probably should have them now. If I get fully compressed in the front, I can get light rubbing but it takes a big hit to fully compress 700lb springs...

I am probably going to try the metal tech 3" bumps for the rear to start out. I think that paired would a 1" BL should give me enough in the rear.
For the front to fit 35s I think definitely it'll be a little more work. I don't have 700lb springs, but a slightly longer bump stop may do the trick. Hopefully i'll have it all worked out in a month or two.

uptravel won't be an issue with 35s, its clearing the firewall that will at 4/5ths to lock.
it really super pisses me off how all want to do is get these tires to stick out of the wells a bit and i can't do it because of how the well is designed. freaking SAS and 38s is going to set me back thousands just so i can have it look the way i want to.

The sas really is a bit complicated though. Keep going over all the parts etc. the well design is bunk for oversized tires. Up to 34 isn't as bad as 35+ but that does limit a lot. I was thinking custom fenders would be necessary to go over 35 and be able to lock it out. The width is a rpita.

I can imagine the parts list is quite extensive and expensive, gonna need a full time 2nd job.

You went Toyo right? I might switch to those when the time comes.
