I have 235/85's as alot of people here on DWEB do. I used Kyle's rear fender location and did NO trimming whatsoever. No scraping or rubbing with the rear fenders moved out. Didn't have to touch a thing in the front. Under the "Tech" section above, look for rear fender relocation down towards the bottom./ Later.. Robert

No regearing at all. Did it slow it down? Of course, but this things are slow anyhow. You get used to it within a week or so of driving and you couldn't imagine it otherwise. If you go bigger than 235/85's you will definitely want to be thinking of regearing/heavy duty driveline components. I'll stick with the 235/85 and replace crap as I break it. Later.. RS
