Yes, rust joke enjoyed too 
Ah, no, sorry... I won't be "pedalling them on eBay as ZookBOB" :lol: ... eBay is already cut-throat when it comes to bodylifts, so much so it's not worth trying to sell mine, I stopped making them a while ago, but still have the moulds so wanted mine for my own vehicle...
Hmmm, when I fitted 235/75's on the red Jimny fastback (Maxxis Muds) they fitted alright with a 1.5" lift and a 1" bodylift...? So I'm pretty sure the BFG ATs will fit fine with no arch cutting...
Castor corrected arms should reposition the axle forward slightly? (My ORA ones do... check with JimnyBits, etc?)
Or... thinking outside (Keithy's t-) box... what about castor correction bushes set to move the axle slightly forward? Discuss But, you'd lose a bit of flex... Otherwise, a BFH! (Big F'ing Hammer) will surfice!

Had a bit of spare time this afternoon, so started on the body lift...
Bumpers off, headlights out, all 8 fixing points wire brushed and WD40'ed, will give pop out from the shop and give them another spray tomorrow, in readiness for completing the bodylift on Sunday
