I’d say that’s going to have roughly the turning radius of an Iowa class battleship, but I learned from the movie ‘Battleship’ that you can just drop the anchor to get it to whip right around. The E-brake is your friend, I think to get the same effect.
To completely hijack a thread, IMO that is an awesome movie! Think it was considered a bust, but I love it! Probably seen it 15 times, and watch it whenever I catch it on TV, and I've watched it via streaming more than once!

Carry on!

The chicken burrito scene is comedy gold. I’ve rewatched it just to see him fall through the ceiling tiles.

Looks good. Needs more red though.
I think it looks awesome with red fenders and roof. I say this as someone with a truck with blue fenders and roof.

That thing is gonna "rub" everywhere more than a middle school kid up a flagpole! Even with an "average" 6" lift, the "rub" will continue. The front shaft boot will "rub" till detonation, the front stubby will "rub" at full stuff as well as "rub" in the back of the well too. Trim the rock rails back 2"in the front and just go ahead and throw some Artec liners in there just to make sure it doesn't "rub" anywhere else up front. You will also "rub" in the rear wells too without a 3" bumpstop. Just throw some Artec's back there too and you wont "rub" anywhere. Rub out the paint job when it's done and show us all the result!!!

Sounds like a great project!

A little testing going on here…… not ready to install the lift for about two more months but it was time to put the tires on the beadlocks (tires and wheels sitting in the garage for about six months now) which my son and I do have experience with and we installed the tires on the beadlocks and I was like hey, what the heck…. curiosity….. let’s see what they look like or if they’ll even fit like that for a few pictures for a joke……….. I already have a Teraflex Long Arm, Rebel Recon coil over 6” king shocks set up waiting to go on it In approximately two months. I have to finish up on my wife’s jeep first…..lol. P.S. I tested the turning right there as it sits and you could probably go 7° each direction before it hits the back of the front fenders and the front bumper. It wouldn’t even make it out of the driveway if I tried.

I would just throw some 2”, maybe 3” wheels spacers on and call it a day.
