I love the look of your tires and wheels. What size/model are they?

Kumho 315/70/R17 and Method Hole Rims 17x8.5 one of the lighter combos you can run which is nice so far I haven't felt the need to regear from the stock rubicon 4.10's.

The Tusken Raider has gone under the knife. AEV 2" lift going in with Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops and Method Race Wheels 17" NV's wrapped in BFG KO2 34" tires. But the best part of the day will be taking it to see Star Wars The Force Awakens tonight!

Admittedly the ride is stiffer than before but not by much. If I were to put it on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being stock ride quality, 10 being harsh ride) I would say its a 2. I assumed because I was just adding a spacer on the stock system that it wouldn't change it at all but I was wrong. I don't know if new coils and shocks would change that but its really not that bad so I'll just pretend its always been like this .

The other thing I'm shocked with is how good 34" tires look with the AEV 2" lift. On their site they recommend 33" tires but there is plenty of space in there for the extra inch of rubber. I wouldn't go as big as 35" but 34" sits comfortably under those fenders.
