Have to keep us updated. I can vouch for what many are saying on the other forums regarding their bike tires if they are the same company. My Cannondale I was running White/Black Kenda tires and I loved them. Had to wait around many times for friends to repair tires on the trail and on RAGBRAI but I never once had to replace a tire last year.

It is the same company and the reviews I read were all good hope these dont get popular to soon or they wont be cheap nemore

I will keep y'all posted on how they work.

I'd shoot Tom a message and ask maybe. I'm not sure with the KK. This wasn't an issue with mine since I have the KJ.

I'm wondering if it's not one of those things where they push getting them as it would be a good move but not required. They do that with the cut down CV's on the KJ and make it sound like it's required. It is recommended just in case but you'd get by just fine without sort of thing.

Yeah the bump stops are not a HAVE TO HAVE for the kit. But they are cheap and a nice added protection to prevent ruining the shocks or anything. Currently I am not running anything but the factory bump stops. Mostly because I haven't gotten around to installing them yet.

"E" rated tires on a KJ? You may not need to put any air in them the sidewalls may be stiff enough to hold up your Jeep by themselves.....

Well I dont have a KJ I have a KK and it turns out the shipping address got screwed up so they canceled the order and refunded the funds. said I have to reorder with the correct address. I am thinking of the at's now instead as there is not a lot of mudd in CA

He is right though .. I'm not sure what E rated tires would be like on a Liberty. :shrug: Maybe a bit of a harsh ride.

I dont know about the ride ethier but some threads I read said they really liked them. I like the look over the look of AT's though but for the rocks and desert ground I think the At's area a better choice. any thoughts?

I had a set of E rated tires on a Nissan Titan and they rode rough. I can't imagine them on a Liberty.

I am running a set of 10 ply M/T's.. I have not had a single person mention the ride felt harsh or bad that has ridden with me. Thats with CRD HD front springs (with no weight up front like added bumper etc already stiffening things up) on a non crd plus the E rated tires.

Granted compared to the SRA's they are way stiffer but not to the point I've ever given it a second thought.

I always just assumed most of the guys on here with the Duratracs etc went with the E rated ones.
