ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!
Just got the New Tires, the new style Procomps MTs in 37". Also put on Rancho 9000s and Fabtech HD Tie Rods. Goodbye 'stock' status.

Re: ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!
I went with these over the BFG MTs because of the new sidewall pattern and siping on the center lugs.

Re: ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!
I'm getting a little rubbing on the frame and sway bar. I don't think it's much to worry about.

Re: ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!
LOOKS GREAT! Those tires have some depth to those lugs, damn.
How much room to hitting your garage now? What is the exact height of your garage?

I have about 1" of clearance. I have the antenna stuck through the two Gobi bars and the tip sticks out just above the high part of the rack. It actually touches the weather stripping that hangs from the top beam. If I have two inches of snow in my driveway I won't be able to get it.
I just measured the garage door. It's exactly 83" from the floor to the lowest hanging trim.

I have 82 3/4" to that rubber flap/ 83 1/4" to the frame. I only have 1.25" until hitting the frame now with the 35's and Gobi rack. hhhmmmmmm.

Oh, I forgot to mention that. The road noise is not bad at all. The are little louder that the BFT ATs, but I was blown away by how quite they are, given size of the lugs. I had read quite a bit about them prior to buying and the consistent remarks were that these tires are nice on pavement. It's true. I think the center siping has a lot to do with that, allows the tire give a bit.

I love the new look CO. And the Yellow shock boots are cool too! Where did you get them?
Congratulations on some great choices.

I never even thought about putting yellow boots on. The kid that checked my car in just said "hey, what color boots do you want on there". I said "yellow", of course.  Later he told me that they normally charge a few bucks for putting on boots other that the stock red ones, but he did it for free. 4wheelparts, Denver is a GREAT shop.

Forgot to tell you the rig looks great. I saw it in that industrial area just off the highway.
