yes they do and Justin up at Lucky 8 usually carries them but he is out. I just emailed Underground to see if they have any in stock.

I don't have the extra 100kg front and 200kg rear equipment or load they say the medium kit supports, but I figure it's only time before I do.

Installed 265/75/16's last night. Took it out and beat on it a bit to see where rubbing would occur... surprisingly there's very little. I plan on hacking off the lower part of the front bumper and rear corners of the rear fenders to start.

I tried to take pics yesterday but either my camera is F'd up or my memory card is... my brother did take a pic with his phone though. I'll have it out for more in the next couple days.

Oh - also installed the terrafirma steering dampner. Works great!
That looks great. Basically the exact look I'm going for. I was thinking about using these tires....

I wonder why terrafirma doesn't list them on their site? I bet they'd sell a few more kits if they did.

That was my 2nd choice. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

The tires WILL rub (not terrible). I trimmed the fenders to mitigate.

I have no experience with 235/85 on stock suspension.

My experience with a ~2" lift and 265/75 is YES, it will rub. It might drive without rubbing, but you won't be articulating the suspension and not rubbing.

if you trim and adjust steering stops you should be 100% rub free
