Looks like it is coming together nicely... Just remember the enjoyment after it's all done makes all the hard work worth it!!

What's the width? You may rub on full turn with the canyon rims.

TJ canyons are 15x8. You can tell they are TJ canyons as opposed to regular canyons (15x7) because the spoke "flares" out towards the outside of the lip.

I had a set with 30x9.5s on mine and they didnt have any rubbing issues. That was when it was closer to stock.

My steels aren't going to ship until the 21st so i was debating on just putting my 31x10.5s on my canyons. 10.5 seems to be way over pushing it though.

I'm lucky all mine came out with no problem at all. A little pb blaster and using my feet to move the breaker bar.

Looks good! I kinda wish I kept my canyons but 20 lug nuts sounds better than 40.

I had to drop the T-case with mine. It had some nasty vibes and some growling noises until i dropped it. Mines a 98, im not sure if that makes a difference or not.

I did the same thing on mine... it wasn't the easiest task for sure.. but that is how it was for me.. I soaked the hell out of my leaf spring bolts, and added as much FEET lb. of torque I could on the breaker bar... hoping that if I ever have to remove the leafs, it'll be far easier removal due to making use of anti-seize when I reassembled it all!!

Bad break. Real shame, that's a nice looking lifted Jeep. Glad you are OK.

Did you lube your lugs before tightening them? I ask because I used to do that (for over 40 years) until I had lugs back off on jeep alloy wheels w/acorn nuts. I got lucky, and caught it each time just before losing a wheel. (its happened a few times) On jeeps w/alloy wheels, I clean & torque lugs, but I have quit lubing the studs. Good luck.

Ya it's still in the process of getting things all back to good and safe thanks to the crash the front diff is not happy and it's over pressuring the cooling system and I got some new rattles and things I'm hunting down
