Looks like you need to trim the U-bolts down a bit.  Throw on some 33x9.5R15's and you'd be set.

It does look really good.  The Jeep is coming to look very 4wd worthy.

Did you ever take picures of your Jeep with the 10.5's?

Boggers really suck if you have to drive on road a lot.  They have 34x9.5R15 TSL's and a cheaper 34x10.5R15 LTB also.  For a daily, you'd be better off with a radial tire.  I know Dunlop or someone also makde a 33x10.5R15, too.

I mentioned trimming his bolts.  Those Currie plates are HUGE.  I should know, I run them out back.  They're like pontoons. :lol:

If I was going to replace my spring plates I'd go with something like the JKS plates.
