I have stock gears and run 245/75R16. I also have Quadratec Moab Alloy replicas. Not as heavy as forged but still pretty heavy. Concerning gears, I have noticed that it shifts a little bit more, but it's not very noticeable at all to me. I drive 90% in the city and it shifts and drives, what...
Update
Haven't posted in a while and since have done a few things. I replaced the radiator with a Mopar radiator due to a crack. Flushed the radiator fluid. Replaced the water pump and thermostat at the same time. Got new lockable lug nuts for the wheels since the others were all non-matching...
Tomudd can be a little intimidating talking to on here just because he knows so much, but trust his advice. He will not steer you in the wrong direction. The lift does give you 2.5 or little bit more even though it says 1.5. I just recently put this same lift on my KJ. I posted some images of...
Lifted her today...
So I finally was able to do this today. Got her lifted.
Went with the following:
Front
Ironman Front Struts
OME Coils MD Front
JBA Spacer Plate
Rear
OME Coils MD Rear
Bilstein Rear Shocks
Two Hockey Pucks for Rear bumpstops
Took 3.5 hours.
Tires are 245/75R16 Laufenn X...
Finally got the lift on. Tires seem great so far. Not a lot of road noise. Went off roading a little bit at some trails by my house and they seem to grip great. Will update on how they wear down as time goes on.
I managed to get 21 mpg on the way to St. George this weekend. All stock. Then on the way back to northern Utah I got 23 mpg. Went 75 mph despite the speed limit being 80 here in Utah. We call it the I-15 raceway.
For sure. I'm sure they will do just fine. I wanted more rugged tread but I decided that will be an upgrade for next time. Excited to see how these perform. So far loving the new Jeep. Wife wants to drive it more than me. Maybe I'll get her one later.
I purchased these tires over the weekend. Got all five of them for $455 with $100 off because Discount Tire Direct eBay store has $100 coupon. These tires and wheels will be my spring/summer/fall tires since my KJ came with Hancook winter tires on them. I couldn't find any information on Laufenn...
I'm putting in a new order for JBA because my Bilstein struts with another site are going to take a month to arrive. Here is what I have for the 2nd order with them.
Teraflex front bumpstops X2
Bilstein front struts heavy duty
JBA Front Strut Spacer set 1/4"
Do I need to get more upper/lower...
I did already purchase the wheels and I do personally like the look of the wheels. These one say that the backspacing is 4.5". I was planning on only doing springs and shocks but I can add top plate if needed. If I do top plate, how many do I need to add to the front/rear? Is the only benefit to...
I pieced out buying a lift for my newly purchased KJ so here's what I got:
OME MD Rear Springs
OME MD Front Springs
Bilstein Front Strut/Shock
Bilstein Rear 2.5" shock JBA
Shock Fitting Kit JBA for Rear Shock
Daystar 2" front bump stops
The question is am I missing anything? Also I went with...
