Not arguing aev isn't quality. But he clearly said its mostly for looks. That's all I was saying

I've boughten and installed almost 4 lifts on my personal JK since 2010 and trying to save the college kid $$ in the long run. Great riding lift that's easily self installable with only a tape measure alignment.

Rough Country 1.25" body lift

Poison Spyder hood louver

If you wheel you may not want the falkins I know 2 people who had them and didn't like them. Only 2 sets I've known people to own. Those 2 people wheel things like the Rubicon and the rest of the nor Cal trails.

I've done a lot of research on them, I've seen a ton of positive things. Mostly truck forums, but I don't really wheel, my stock 255/70/18s handled my adventures, so I'm confident these wouldn't be an issue.

They'll be fine. I'm actually waiting patiently for my current tires to wear out so I can get these in a 37".

Plenty of threads and reviews on them here. The only negatives I recall seeing are people that got them and then complained that they aren't an aggressive mud/rock tire. Ya know, if you wanted something more aggressive, you shoulda bought something more aggressive instead of buying what is very obviously a milder AT.

Lmao, exactly man. I read about a guy complaining that they filled up with mud too fast....hello, you bought an all terrain. Lol I am really tempted with the 35x12.50x18 they offer too...but these are more practical...and cheaper with all my driving and whatnot. Only $1,075 for all 5 shipped.

My bro has them in 35x12.5x17 and they are awesome. Been through 12" mud and 2 feet of snow and they've kept up with my trail grapplers. Granted in deep snow I was cutting path
