IMO, when I mounted up the 245/75, I did have to remove the front mud flaps off the factory running boards

Hey Kenk you wouldn't happen to have any pics would you? I've decided I will likely be going with the 245/75s after I do my OME job. Will also be removing the running boards and installing some good sliders, so the front mud flaps will go as well.

I fitted 245/75 MTs to my '97 - had to trim the rear wheel arch a bit to avoid rubbing on full articulation. They work a treat!

if i didn't use the long travel shocks, the actual lift is more like 2.5", right?

that doesnt require an mods to brakes, etc.

Nothing. I only wanted 2" of lift since I knew I was going with a 245/75 tire. 3" woulda been a little much,looks wise,with that size tire.
