RUGGED RIDGE RELEASE NEW XHD HUB CENTRIC WHEELS

Ready to upgrade your stock wheels but still want to use the tread that’s left on your stock tires? Now you can have both! Unlike our XHD 17×9 wheels, these Euro-spec 17×8.5 wheels allow you to mount either your stock tires or upgraded off-road tires.

These wheels are designed to exactly center the wheel over the hub providing the best fit possible and the proper clearance for brake rotors, steering components and suspension, with no wheel vibration! A stainless steel button-head socket cap screws around the perimeter of the outer wheel face, giving it a great 3-piece look, and allowing you to accessorize with our optional rim protector. Each wheel includes a modular center cap. A durable powder coated finish offers a long lasting look. These Rugged Ridge wheels have been independently tested to meet/exceed the requirements for SAE J2530 and the even more stringent TUV standards. Backspacing is 5.17-inch with a +10mm offset.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 3.5-IN LIFT KIT FROM ZONE OFFROAD

Zone Offroad continues to expand its line up of suspension lifts with the new 3.5-in Adventure Series UCA Lift Systems for the 2007-2016 Toyota Tundra. Designed to allow you to get more out of your factory suspension geometry, these kits offer room for up to 35-in tires. The new adventure series arms use a repositioned ball joint mount to provide greater range of motion for improved suspension travel. This corrects the ball joint binding issue common on stock control arms and are constructed from 1/8-in steel plate, boxed and fully welded with CNC machined ball joint and bushing cups. At the frame mount, the arms use factory style, durometer-specific rubber bushings pre-installed for quiet maintenance free. The arms come fully assembled, finished in a durable textured black powdercoat finish for quick, easy installation right out of the box.

Also included in the 3.5-in adventure series UCA system are a pair of top mounted steel fabricated strut spacers designed to provide the lift while retaining original ride quality. The top mounted design is simple to install and speeding up installation time by not requiring strut disassembly. With the increased ride height the factory bump stops are relocated with the supplied relocation brackets. Similarly the sway bar is relocated using drop brackets to retain an operating angle similar to stock. Finishing off the front of this 3.5-in adventure series lift kit are differential drop spacers and longer hardware to keep the CV axle angles at a minimum while still allowing the use of the factory front driveline. Rounding out the rear is your choice of rear hydro or nitro gas shocks.

JSPEC ADVANCED GEOMETRY KIT FOR JEEP JK

This new upgrade kit features both a new drag link flip system and the popular JKS6200 control arm relocation bracket system all in one kit. This upgrade kit is designed to work with JK lift systems of 2.5 to 5-in of lift.

This installation requires drill out the steering arm tapered hole in the passenger’s side knuckle and installing a precision machined tapered insert. The insert has a knurled outer surface and has a slight interference fit making it extremely strong and eliminates any possibility of play or loosening. The drag link flip flattens out the steering angles when combined with the lift heights mentioned and provides better, more solid steering. To properly compliment the new steering angles, a front track bar bracket is supplied that mounts to the factory mount. This new bracket not only adapts the factory mount for proper track bar angles, it also strengthens the factory setup by tying into the axle via a U-bolt setup integrated into the design. The new track bar location mimics the drag link angle perfectly and eliminates bump steer. In order to accommodate these two new components, 3-in tall front aluminum bump stop extensions are included to provide the proper clearance at full bump.
