Looks amazing!
Can you take another shots, just to see how much they stick out.
I have a m1123 I'm looking to do a body lift and a maybe taller coil spings in the front. Did you go with new springs or spacer and how was the ride????
thank you
Did you put the body lift and the suspension lift on you M1123 yet and did you go with a spacer or new coil springs and how is the ride?

No new springs or spacers. 2 in discs and 2 inch body lift kit. Ride is the same to me. The 40in Mud Grapplers are loud but I can barely hear them over the sound of the Hmmwv enging/tranny.

I have a 1045a2. No idea on the difference in springs between models.
Cool I haven't done any thing yet, I ordered doors and new soft top, I'm confused on what direction to go for lift kit for 40 tires. what size do you have and do you have any pictures?
thanks again

My tires are 40x15.5r20. I think its user preference. Some people prefer the spring setup while others prefer discs and puck lift. The ride MAY be better with the spring lift method but I have no idea.

wow that's a nice set up, I like the stance on that too. How do you like those tries? look like Nito mud grapplers
Also looks like you did the 2 inch body and 2 inch spacer front and back? The set you sent in the last few messages? I'm just trying to figure out what I like to order. Thank you.

I like the tires. They're a little wide at 15.5 but I got a great price on them so I couldnt pass it up. Next tire purchase I may get the 13.5 version.
I was wondering if you went with basic body lift or the frame mount body lift? I'm not sure what I'm going with I see the basic is about 655$ and the frame mount complete kit is around 1400$.
I was wondering if you need the frame mount body kit or just the basic kit, and is yours a M998? thank you.
Sounds like that would work. Any input on the amount that would work in some 37's? I wouldn't think it would take much. Not like a tractor tire, where it is used for ballast. I fill those up completely.

16-20 ounces should be plenty. You just need enough to compensate for however much out of balance the tires are. Too much isn't going to hurt anything, just adds extra unsprung weight.
Appreciate the feedback!

Did you ever get your answer? The stock HMMWV wheels are +63.5 offset. 9" rim width, 7 inch backspacing = 2.5" + offset = 63.5mm+ offset. A -18 is setting the wheels 2.95" further out with a 9.5 wheel.
I've been looking for wheels with a +63.5 offset, or close to it (with 9" wheel width). Sometimes it's hard to find a site that clearly mentions the offset or allows you to search by offset. Any recommendations for wheels with + offset?
Looking to stay with 37" diameter and close to factory offset.
