Well let me be the first to say it
Congratulations you removed a perfectly good functional
part to install something that is for looks only
(Insert picture of face palm here)
I know that the local babies-r-us will let you "try them"
now that was nearly 6 years ago
we found a rear facing seat that would fit behind the passenger
seat in a KJ with me sitting in it now I am only 5'10" and 180#
but still it worked
You may want to try them first
Who am I to say your suspension is shot?
Well I know you have stock coils
I know you purchased this KJ used
I am betting it has well north of 50k miles
I know that EVERY person who replaces their stock suspension
notices a huge difference in ride quality
Oh and I also service the...
No I will not go easy
This is the type of person who's wife rear ended mine
'02 Suburban 150k miles brand new tires skid marks
showed that the tires were hopping
why? Bad shocks!
My wife's VW with good shocks and tires held its ground
other wise she would have gotten T-boned as well...
Sorry man you are not real bright
You are willing to let your kid drive ,not just ride, in a car
with suspension that is 99.99% in poor condition
I modified the factory roll cage in my TJ because I felt it was
not up to the task of protecting my family
You are looking for tires ,important...
I ran LR E in the old style MTR's on the KJ
Switched to LR C in an AT and the only difference
was in noise not in ride quality
With an LR E you can comfortably air down to 12 psi
this is assuming 245/75 on OE sized wheel
Was that the one out of NC?
I ran that one about 5 or 6 years ago
And that was the last 1 for me but the "mud slut" looks
like one of the trail guides Jeep from the group I ran with
I have seen all the major brands fail due to roots
Ripping side walls
I ripped the lugs from a SS LTB but have seen the exact same
Tire get a hole through the side wall from roots
Now by far the "weakest" tires I have seen was a BFG MT
The old style ,got a thorn through the side wall
Lockers = best off road mod hands down
Put one in the rear and your rig will be twice as capable
Any one who tells you they are "not needed and you should
see what your rig can do" has not seen what a Jeep with
lockers can do
Call it what you want
The others are body on frame the Jeeps other than wrangler
are not
If calling it something else makes you feel good do it
but I have seen the "uniframe" get big dents in it
but the frame ,well not so much
Don't waste money on either
Wheels or 245/70's if you plan to lift
Best fit/look for a lifted KJ
245/75 R16's on stock alum. wheels
gives a "stock" look until you park next to a stock
KJ ,then you notice
The $250+ saved is nearly 1/2 the cost of a Detroit locker
which will give you more ability...
Guys the op is 21 years old he is worried about looks
not how well it functions
It goes back to my TJ
Flares beat to hell
Free wheels ,stock TJ wheels
Wrapped in what would cost over $1000 in tires
and $600 give or take in shocks
