Yes, I was able to slide the front's out without cutting anything at all. I plan to reinstall them after I get the perch collars



They ride great, very similar to the KO3's, maybe a little more road noise.



They sit pretty close to even with the top of the flare. Slightest pit of poke maybe, I'll add a few more pictures.

Even with perch collars installed you will run into the same issue with the crash bars. Improving castor will with a an adjustable uca would be the only thing to positively affect that area. I have a 2" level and I was still contacting the crash bars with my 35's during full lock in reverse and upon compression.

These trucks just don't want 35's unfortunately. Between messing with the internal bypass on the shocks and rubbing.

Oh, they want them lol ! Remove the crash bars and get the proper alignment with an adjustable UCA. I’m running stock UCA and no crash bars. All good here. Plus I’m running a 35x11.50.

I installed Foutz 2.5" Collars in the front and 2.0" in the rear. I was able to leave the rear crash bars in place so far, I haven't been able to completely flex everything out to confirm full articulation clearance but for regular driving and fast unimproved roads I have not had any contact.

Before the Collars

After:

Picked up just about 2.5" in the front and just under 2" in the rear.

How did the ride change after installing the lift collars?

I'm curious about this too. Really like the leveled look but don't want to change the way it rides at all.

Same size and fit perfect!

Looking to order these same wheels in bronze. Thanks for the photos.

Love the wheels, you can feel the weight savings due to how light they are. The 30mm gives the proper stance too. Only gripe is that the center caps don't lock in place so you can't keep them "aligned" with the orientation of the RTR logo on the wheel.

Nice. RRaptor looks mean!

Looks great! Happy to hear stock tires fit up well on the 9” wheel. Any side shots to show how flush it is? Did you also get their lug nuts? Any rubbing?

I plan on eventually doing collars and 35s but I’ll use up the stock tires first.

Great looking set of wheels. I know this is an older post, but was wanting to know with the +30 offset did you have any rubbing at full lock with the stock tires? From my research, I found +35 is about the most you can go with the stock tires and stock suspension (no lift). Plus I don't want to remove the crash bars. Thanks in advance.

No rubbing at all, not even close.
