They look good. Tire brand? Size? Lift? The combination looked great.

Thank you! I have the Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx Mud Terrains in 255/80R17. Thats a pizza cutter 33x10. I intentionally went with a skinny tire because I wasn't going to lift it immediately. Something felt weird about the Jeep though and I began to suspect the previous owner had lifted it. The wheel installer confirmed it. Its a 2.5 inch budget kit. I'll swap that out eventually to a short arm system around 3.5 inches.

Out of curiosity, does it look lifted to you?

It appears lifted to me. The tires looked really nice. 255/80r17 ST MAXX was one of my considerations. I ended up with 285/70r17 DuraTrac this afternoon. They should arrive in a week. I also scheduled a Teraflex coil lift 2.5” with 9550 shocks. Things are coming together all because the stock tires are due for replacement at 50k.

Are your tires E rated? Is the ride harsh?

You will love the DuraTrac's. Those and the KO2's are the best tires ive ever owned. I like these Coopers a lot. They really perform well and are quiet. Other than lacking name recognition like BFG or GY they are just as good INO. This size is E rated. My ride quality isn't great but I attribute that mostly to the budget lift that I now realize I have and not having the Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks that I had grown accustomed to.
