That looks very natural. It doesn't look slammed, but it doesn't have a lot of gap between the tire and fender. I assume you have to be very careful transitioning from street to driveway?

I can't do it straight on, have to give it a bit of an angle. Thank's man.

How do you put electrical tape around the studs to eliminate the noise? you mean put tape around the studs first and then thread the nuts/bolts on?

thanks

Put the tape at the highest point, to about half way down the stud. You'll have to cut it in half length wise. Make it just thick enough to take out the play. Maybe a 1" to 2" piece. I'll look for a picture.

Here you go. Sorry it's blury, auto focus targeted depth of field. I forget to tell you to stretch the tape as you wrap it around so it stays nice and tight.

Just got my JICs installed today. Quick question, for the hell of it i was on the highway and tried switching lanes while traveling pretty fast, about 90-100 . . . all bashing aside, I felt a slight sway. Let me explain, the car didn't feel unstable at all, it stuck damn good, but it was almost as though I had to straighten out the wheel myself, it didn't return right away. I'm not sure if any of this is making sense but does this sound normal?

At that speed, very little power steering assistance.
