Holy added flex! Definstkey need better shocks for the rear now and makes me want to dial in front a bit more, broke for now but will go ahead and piece together the rear swaybar stuff to get the rear bar back in spec! Let me go dig and find it, added a TON of travel! Won't get full stuff due to shock extensions so need to extend bump stops in the rear.

Well that was unexpected! Do you ever happen along something you decide is worth the fight?
I consulted with the wife and she wasn't happy but she saw the crazy value in getting these so will have 35's soon! Should be here April 24/25'th going to have to figure out the spare but thinking will get a used 35 and just out in the hatch for now with a strap over it, full time 4wd concerns you know!!!!
Don't worry about figment, have a MIG welder and some sheet metal as well as some grinders and BFH to massage the places needed in the front. This wasn't the plan was planning on bodylift first but for 699 delivered for 315/70/17 BFG KO2's I can't believe it!!!! Go big or go home!!!

Operation 35's first step! 
Oh my, look at all that virgin metal and Room!
Because I was a Stang guy forever and Loved the MOAB!
Also removed the spare as going to try to get to the rear diff mod tomorrow and no need for the spare as it wouldn't help me at all once in 35's much less now!
Flareless has crossed my mind, have seen some tacos flareless and as long as you put something in the holes looks pretty good, considering it will clean it up before I start beating/cutting/welding tomorrow and see how it looks.
Also the source of my noise up front was not my lower control arm bushings, my passenger upper control arm had backed off a bit and was causing the ratttle!!!! That's good means I can wait to do the lower control arm bushings till I do the front wheel bearings!!!

They are at $796 now.
I successfully resisted (this time) and will be holding out for some louder and twice as expensive mud terrains. :cry2:

Got a ton done today! Uploading pics now and will throw a big post or three depending on pics I have 42 pics and vids loading so may be more than one. I beat, cut, sealed, and welded a bunch today. With my 33's flexed and tested I have more room than I imagined, so I know -with the exception of my flares which I need to trim asap- I can drive day to day with the 315's now and do mild flex in the front. I am thinking that I may have to pull the front carpet, wires and then cut out and re-sheet that section to get it where I want it for my level of off-roading I do! Time will tell the tires arrive Tuesday not sure how fast I will have the change to get mounted and balanced but should be too long. Pics to come!

It got deeper but had a good bottom
Yes they high centered!
Looks like the vid of his wife high centering failed in upload, pretty funny she got out and waved her hands then he had to give it a shot I just hooked the strap up and pulled them backwards and was good to go!

Will be able to fit and drive with no running now, sadly the tires won't be mounted till Next Saturday! But that's set in stone, today was the first day I got to do anything, got a spider bite 2 weeks ago, then last weekend ended up with staph infection and cellulitus, talk about painful last Sunday they were telling me if it's in the bone they were going to have to amputate my big toe! Thankful it's getting better!!! Waiting for bill for er visit!
Btw if your freaked about me cutting to make fit, don't worry I'm about 99% sure in the next year or so I will get the McNeil fiberglass fenders, they have really grown on me and eventually I'll either sas, or go long travel as I wheel way too much!
Have to clean up the cuts but not too bad did in around 30 minutes, waiting for tires to see what all I have to continue cutting but will leave front flares off till after tires are mounted and I have stuffed them a few time around see where need more clearance, also a buddy is borrowing my tin snips which is probably a good thing lol.
Oh will be doing a full prerunner front bumper with light bar setup as well so not going to worry or mess with the front bumper and light bar setups on it like I was thinking. May do a low hid away front hitch mount as well so can get snitch mount winch to use front and rear like I had in the past, for that don't need a tray mounted just a well built cradle for it to put in the hitch. That remains to be seen but made a connection with a local metal shop guy so can get metal now for fab work

Tons more pics to throw on tomorrow when I get time, but long ass day today and most of yesterday and up at 0530
Only rubbing I get currently is full stuff on the mud flaps in the rear, easy fix but didn't have time today. There drivers side flare on but no time for the other one. Did some trimming on the flare but far less than I expected to have to do! Tires measure at 34.6 exactly and I love them, going from a worn out E rated to a new C-rated tire was amazing! Old tires even wore out weighed 59.2lbs and the new ones are only 63.1! While doing the tires, i did it all but the weights, was talking and my buddy does gears! We also went though his lot and he had some damn good axles, including a kingpin 60 and matching Sterling rear with stock 4:10's hmm.
But now knowing this I can probably get my gears and rear spartan for kit over a grand, basically just gear and necessity cost, I would probably do most of it to learn and still throw him 400 or so and save a **** ton!

Did this in the morning the other day, love that the anthracite dip matches the trim perfectly:
Drive back at indicates 70mph
Drive up indicates 70 on the old 285's:
Old and new actually both mounted and balanced for side by side comparison
At that point I really started to worry lol
They are on!
Another old vs new:
Testing rub when leaving:

Full lock flexed still see light!
Fronts all good on Poser and test so far, expect to have to do more when in actual offroad butnhave primer, paint, and tin snips at all times lol
Slight upper control arm contact at full lock and flexed out
Only place with bad rub is rear when fully compressed and then only on what remains of my mud flap, will come off asap!
Drivers side flare with trimming done, will probably need more and didn't have time to do passenger side yet, how she sits now and drive in:
