I guess I need to be quicker on here.

I could do it for you. Make sure you get the flywheel resurfaced while the clutch is out.

I have found that a Centerforce from Quadratec is only like $30 more than one from AutoZone.

\"it\'l be fine\"

[GTJake]

realy? resurface it??
i know after rebuilding camaros that it needs to be done but i never thought about it with the jeep.
i wanted to stick with the stock jeep clutch. we just put a centerforce in my buddys camaro and are having a hard time getting it to launch now.
i guess im guna have 2 try putting the new clutch in w/o resurfacing only becasue of time...if i have my guy @ work do it i cant leave the truck in the shop for days while the fly wheel is being  done........

[smichaelR22]

if it looks like a groved rotor then ya, have it resurfaced... if its nice and smooth - leave it.

[Ryan_25]

NO

You need to resurface any flywheel before putting a new clutch on it.

It could be warped and look great. Then you have a clutch that only grabs on half the flywheel.

Its $40 and my guy does it while I stand there and bs with him.

It takes 15 minutes. No need to wait days to get a flywheel resurfaced.

i guess i have never had a problem with the 3 clutches i have done.  might have to do with the fact that i wasnt replaceing a \"bad clutch\"  just for tranny swaps and frame offs.  

no noises or performance loss that i can tell in my application.  If anything, the clutch originally in my CJ5 that i mistakenly left original that i didnt touch, and with out gears it was cranky hot on the rocks....

can i fit 31x10.5s on stock wheels and with how much lift?

im uesto wranglers, and never wheeled a cherokee.
but i figure that if i give it 2\" of lift (for now) i should be able to clear them...any feedback?

[GTJake]

does anyone know?....about fitting the 31s on my stock wheels?

[Wingman]

Shouldn\'t be a problem if they\'re 7\" wide.

[Crusarius]

31\'X10.5\'s on stock wheels are fine. I wouldn\'t feel bad about 32x11.5\'s or even 33x12.5 but alot of ppl won;t do the 33\'s cause they think the sidewall bulges to much.

I have 35x12.5\'s on an 8\" wheel it works I know plenty of ppl running 12.5\'s on stock wheels it still works

you will never lose a bead with stock wheels :)

[GTJake]

i just didnt want them to wear un even because it will be driven 70miles a day on the highway.
thanks

[MrMindless]

set your tire pressure right and it\'ll wear right.  if you have a really wide tire on a really narrow wheel the \"right\" pressure will be quite low, but a 12.5 on an 8\" wheel is perfect.  I\'ve run 35x12.5 on a 15x6 and it was great under my RamCharger.

[GTJake]

i think that the stock wheels are 7 wide and i plan to run a 10.5, so it should be ok i would think for highway driving. im not looking for the BEST handeling...i have another car for that....but i dont want it to be sloppy ya know

[Wingman]

It will be a little sloppy but tolerable due to sidewall give on the narrow rim.

I just ordered my new clutch kit and new u-joints. they will be here tomorrow, then Ill bring the jeep over to Blue Dog to have the work done

I also just ordered my new tires (5 of them) and they should be here by the end of next week. I took Wingmans advice and ordered some re-treads. well see how they do. heres what I ordered...
