yeah, I gotta agree, there's no way to take a wrangler body, and put 44"s under it and keep it streetable (and legal) while still having it perform worth a damn on the trail

you're going to need to decide if you really want to go that extreme, and have a trailer queen, or tone it back quite a bit if you want to try to stay street legal (or even reasonably streetable)

personally, I think everybody here knows what I would do!

get the 60s, keep them stock width, mount them spring over, and cut the fenders back until the 44"s fit...  :)

Cheek-Bone:
Alright here it is

Bumper height:f-26", r-23"
Hub to bottom of fender-f-27", r-28"
Spring perch center to center-f-31.5", r-39 3/4"
Yokes-f-42 1/4", r-17"
tire to bottom of fender- f-11", r-12"
spring eye to spring eye(inside)- f28", r-37 3/4"
frame- f-33", r- 42 1/2"
wms to wms f&r- 58"

Let me know if you need anything else.

Use Stock 60s and Hummer rims, since they have a deep back spacing,  Then you get bead locks too.  I would suggest a slightly smaller tire such as a 39.5.  A 44 is just too big for a YJ unless you lengthen its wheel base.  Just my 2 cents

HOT-ROD:
what i was thinking to all replys.

but isnt the tallest dot tire 44's?

i love al's approach, cut it. no fenders.

Gastank:
There is alot of good gouge here... and I thank you for it.

The tallest DOT tire is the 54" Bogger

As for the Axles I was planning on keeping stock width of around a 86 ford F250/F350, Due to the Kingpin front D60
the tire clearance will involve alot I know. I was looking at pushing the front and rear but the measurements is what I was waiting for for the decision. i know that if I go leaves then I'll be going outside the frame, obviously SOA, but I am still looking into the 4 link idea... I have a lot of time left here and just wanted to start buying the parts I now I will need. Tires, rims, etc...

It will be a trailer queen for the most part.... having LA plates helps for driving around town. They can't say a thing to me. The only state that can in Virginia.

Cheek: thanks for the measurements I'll get crackin on the draw up so I can keep you guys updated.
cj-nh: Thanks for the idea of the hummer rims... I didn't even think about that. I was looking at the inner rim beadlocks.
