    Picked up my trail shoes for the JK this morning. My intent is to just use these for trail runs. Will keep the stockers on it the rest of the time. Can't see any sense pushing these around on the street and not into mall crawling.

    That's likely going to be a month or two in the future when some of the high country snowpack melts. Usually that would be sometime the end of June but this year it may be sometime in May. I am going to test fit the rears because I know I will be trimming the ends of the rock rails and maybe a bit of the pinch seam there. But as noted, trail shoes only.

    Finally installed these this morning. Look like they will clear the rock rails, but it is close.

    About a 1/4" space when holding a square up there. With the 4 link, I think that will be sufficient. If it does rub, I will trim back the rails.

    About 13.5" under the main skid plate-and inch short of where the B sits, not to mention the nice, even 36" longer wheelbase. Maybe baptize the tires tomorrow.
