I'm gettin my cragar soft 8's this week. But I wanted to make sure... this is the correct size for the 2nd gen right? I drive a 4.0 and I just wanted to double check on the specs before I buy because i already messed up once :(

Yep, those are the ones. Last Sunday, I ordered the Pro Comp Rock Crawler Series 98 wheels, which are identical to the Crager Soft 8s, with the exception of the 3.75" backspacing versus the 4.00" backspacing of the Cragers. To make a long story short, the Pro Comps were backordered, but 4WheelParts didnt care enough to inform me. Fast-forward to this past Thursday and they still hadn't shipped, so I canceled my order and ordered the Cragers through Summit. They arrived the next day and I had them put on that evening. With my 31x10.50s, I did have to do a little trimming on my front bumper, but it wasn't a big deal.
 






Dude thats bomb! Heck yeah, I'm goin with the cragars now :D

Where did u get your 31x10.5's and how much did they cost each? I'm looking at new 31s vs used on craigslist.
 






I bought mine new from a local tire shop a few months ago. They're Firestone Destination A/Ts and I think I paid around $575 total for all 4 mounted and balanced. Give me a couple minutes and I'll go snap a couple of pictures of the wheels.
 






Okay awesome!

So the 4 inch backspacing is correct? I messed up with the backspacing of my last rims so I wanna make sure
 






Unfortunately, it looks like you'll have to wait on the pictures. As soon as I stepped outside, my lense fogged up on the inside and the battery was almost dead, so the camera is on charge now, lol.

Yep, the 4.00" backspacing will work just fine.
 






Haha thats alright. It happens way too much to me. Just post em when u get a chance. But I'm definately ordering them right now! :D
 






I'm sorry it took so long, but it's my wife's birthday today, so we went out to dinner and a movie and all of that good stuff.
