They did amazingly well. They aren't great on hard-packed slick stuff, not enough siping, but in anything soft/wet/loose, where they can work like mud tires, they are amazing. I drove through almost 2 feet of snow without a hitch (I'm on the front range in Colorado, we just had a blizzard and a half).

I've also been quite pleased with the lack of road noise, even at highway speeds. I thought I'd get some droning or something, but they aren't bad at all. Not like car tires or anything, but not bad!

Thanks for the compliment!

The tires are 35/12.5R17 (315/70R17). The wheels are Cragar Soft 8s, 17x9 with zero offset (5" backspacing). I think any zero offset wheel would work really, there is plenty of room.

I had a minor rubbing issue with the air dam, whenever I was in reverse at steering lock in either direction. I have since removed the air dam, problem solved.

No body lift. To be honest, I don't even know if anyone makes a body lift for a JK? It's really not necessary to even contemplate.

The only OEM option I didn't get that I really wanted was power locks and windows. The windows aren't such a big deal, but I hate trying to unlock all the other doors from the driver seat when I'm taking 3 friends someplace! I am seriously considering getting an aftermarket power locks kit with actuators.

My only advice for a new Jeeper is DO ALL THE WORK YOURSELF. A full set of tools is cheaper than paying a mechanic for even a couple of hours of labor, and it will pay huge dividends down the road. Get a factory service manual, read the sections pertaining to your current mod, and do everything yourself.

By the way, it's off topic, but here is what happens when you park your car outside the garage so you have room to work on the Jeep, and a blizzard sneaks up on you...
