Thanks man because Im seriously thinking about doing the same thing you did, even thinking about getting the same tires. So a few quick questions for you. Since you running with this configuration how had your gas mileage been, what about road noise, any serious rubbing while driving around in general, and how do the tires handle in the rain? ... I know i know too many question, sorry
road noise is minimal from the tires. with doors and top on, i don't hear these tires. with no doors or top, the only thing i hear is the wind
. very quiet tires.ZERO rubbing on road. i removed the front air dam the day i brought it home.
luckily, it's been pretty dry here this summer. what little driving i've done in the rain, i've had no issues at all.
no pics yet, my little guy is currently sleeping on my chest. I'm kinda stuck here.

You know Im so glad i found this thread because ive been looking at doing exactly what you did with your JK, same tire size and lift. Just wondering if you could post some more pics of your JK from the side so i can see how much wheel well space you have and maybe some from the front so i can also how much wider the tires look on the JK.

Thanks man its like you're reading my mind, all the pics you posted are exactly what i would have wanted to see. I'm going to steal your idea and go with the same setup on my JK. I want something that's a little more rugged that gave me a little more ground clearance, i don't have the money to go all out and get a 3' inch lift kit plus 35's and then re-gear my transmission. I just wanted something that has a little more lift with a little bigger tires that can go just that little extra mile. Thanks

The additional traction these tires give you offroad is just amazing. Wheel with them for a while before you decide on any other mods like more lift etc.

I'm running Goodyear MTR with Kevlar..33"s I have a leveling kit only. No spacers.
If you rub just adjust your steering stops with a few washers.

Check my signature...Its a Terra Flex...$129.00. It gives you about 2" up front and and 1" or so in the rear..Your Jeep will sit level once your done..it Looks much better and you get a litttle bit more suspension travel...You keep the stock shocks..
I think its the best bang for your buck if you going with 33's as it gives you Just a tad more tire room.
