    I will! My off road shop is going to take a ton. They are very interested as I am probably the first person in Alabama to lift a Renegade...

    Sorry! The lift is in with no issues. I have another problem though.... The wheels I ordered don't fit :( I had to order spacers through renegade ready and am having them overnighted. They are arriving tomorrow afternoon. I left my Jeep at the shop and will be getting it back with lift, wheels and tires on Friday morning. I will post some pics then. Waiting sucks!!!

    I got 17" fuel hostage wheels and BFG at ko2's in 225 65r17. The wheels fit other than they are hitting the struts a bit. Just needed the spacers to give them some more room. It'll be pretty sweet when they get it all installed though :)

    NOT what I wanted to hear, as I was thinking of having Fuel cut me some blanks as well. What was the backspacing on your wheels? Whatever it is, I will need more to not have to run spacers.

    I just looked on the Fuel website and it says the back spacing is 38mm?

    The offset on the wheels is 38mm. The BSM is 6.2". the wheel is about 1.5" wider than stock...

    Yeah, I didn't want to run spacers either, but I can't eat the money I paid for the wheels... :(

    Dude, they are killing me. I have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up. They started on it today, but can't finish it until tomorrow.....too many JK's in their bays. Ugh. Waiting sucks. I'm dying over here. No ride until tomorrow :(

    Ugh! They can mod Wranglers any day of the week until they're blue in the face. This is a new project car that they've never worked on before. You'd think that they would be bumping it to the front of the line. I feel for you bud. It's killing me just waiting for the outcome and pics!

    The Thing Is They Can Bang Out JKS and make their money. This is a learning process for them, they have to read the instructions. Where it may say a 5 hour install, it turns into 8 or 9 because it's a learning curve. Wait till they align it and have to call someone to tell them where the adjustments are. Be patient, it's better they take their time then mess it up.

    It's my fault. I don't have a ride until 30 minutes from now. I'm picking it up within the hour. Trust me. Time is moving slower for me.......
