[MENTION=66039]foxrider56[/MENTION] We do offer body lift brackets that allow you to adjust the bumper to fit either a 1" or 2" body lift.

I have a 4xinnovations front bumper so I don't want to do the bolt on bracket for a bolt on bumper

I was going to but out bumpers also use the skid mounts too. I'm going to try to get some weather stripping and close that gap. 35s soon to come.

305/70/17 is only a 34.1" tire at best, hardly a "35"" tire.

Im not sure if this has been brought up in this thread but specific alignment specs can really help push the front tires forward and keep them out of the firewall. I beat my firewall back as far as it would go. I still rubbed in the front at full stuff to the point I had to add small bump stop spacers. I heard about making the caster extremely positive (>3.5˚+) helping with this. On the rubicon a few weeks ago i saw a fj with 35's and we asked the owner some questions. apparently the caster adjustment let them fit 35's no problem. This is a huge topic on fj's. i searched around.
Any ways i got home and gave it a shot yesterday. I needed to play with my alignment anyways. I was surprised how much extra room I now have. I didn't take a before but i got over 1/2" of movement forward. Then i re-adjusted the camber and toe to spec. It drives just fine. I think that this can really help those without body lifts fit the 35's
here is an after:
notice the front tire is pretty far forward. THis is a noticeable improvement from the In-spec caster. and the only effect front the caster being really positive is that when driving the steering wheel wants to return to center a little stinger than before.
hey man im in the process of getting 35s under my rig and was wondering what degree of caster you set it at? LR ucas are on the way to my door step as we speak. i was thinking of pushing the back to 4 degrees.
