Wow, wild. For what its worth, my exw had a Willys JL that sat in direct florida sunlight for four years; when she got rid of it, they were all still very much black.
My original setup (narrow):
-tereflex 4.5" off the shelf, oem upper and lower control arms (angled)
-vision wheels 17x10", 4.5" backspacing, -25 offset
-40x13.5x17 atlas paraller (wouldnt wish those ass of tires on my biggest enemy)
-no spacer until i put spacers
-factory bumps
**no rub, no...
Nice build, think you will go with the front locker as well?
Side note, mine has the power hop damper and I'm almost at 100k. Seeing yours reminded me I should probably replace mine.
Milwaukee M18 portable; takes me about 3-3.5 min per tire going from 15psi to 30psi in my 40" Trail Grapplers. I can do it in one oversized batteries or 3 with standard M18 battery and the last tire with another batt.

Go straight to it! :giggle: Sorry, I am a horrible influence.
But also, when I first lifted, I kept my original fenders and inners for 6+ months. I never rubbed, full lock or not, on my original setup of 17x9 and 40's (no spacers at the time).
