You're stacking spacers?
If you can find the same fender flares (Xenon, I think) that I had on my truck it would really look great with those wide tires.

yeah I had to stack spacers in order to fit those wheels cause they are 15s and the calipers wont let anything under 17s fit...

Looks painful - worried about ball joints or bearings??

I was thinking the exact same thing. Holy smokes that suspension has to be stressed. Sweet look though.

I was with you until I saw the wheels sticking out that far... but fender guards would look great with that set up.. I'm scared to put a 1 and a half inch spacer on my Jeep.. But I hope those work out for you.

do you think you could show some pictures of how much clearance you have from the wheel to caliper? I LOVE the stanced out look be I probably wont go out that far. I have 2" spacers on mine now and thought about a 1" that converts to chevy bolt pattern for a better selection of wheels. how many miles do you have on your so far? BTW OORAH DEVIL DOG!

Why not do 17's so you don't have to stack spacers?

heck of a look for sure, gotta love them Hawgs. But I have to ask, how are your fender clearances at full turning lock?

You need to get that lifted (they look so much better imho) and lose those spacers too. That's not safe! Now if that was an axle swap with no spacers it'd be okay with me but it looks dangerous as hell. I definitely like the idea though. I have a 2000 Expy XLT 5.4 w/ 6" fab tech lift running 16×10 DC 2's w/ 35" baja claw mtz meats. It's an aggressive look too but I'm not liking the wheels and might change it up.

That looks legit, but i would really be worried about the ball joints not mention the ridiculous angles your putting on the upper control arms. Even the IRS is probably screaming right now. The second gens weren't made for a wide stance. I debated a one inch spacer on mine, but went with 6mm spacers so i had room to put 295/70-17s on. Waiting for them to show up at the shop.

Have'nt had any issues with the suspension... I've given it a few once overs and nothings any different than with the stock wheels...

The caliper is completely outside of the wheel so it has plenty of clearance... there's a lot of mixed reviews about spacers...I've had mines with no problems whats so ever and I beat my truck down a lot as long as you torque them properly they will hold their ground...and SEMPER FI...OORAHH !

I went with a smaller wheel to get more tire...I go through a lot of trails so they help out a lot when it comes to sticky situations since my rig isn't 4x4 so running low pressure with deeper tires helps out more than people realize...
