Question about tire rotation
This may sound like a stupid question but when I had my old vehicles I wasn't worried about this cause I didn't love it like I do my Jeep. I bought my JKU in March and had brand new Mickey Thompson Baja 33s. I got it with 41000 miles on it and now it's got just about 45000. I also plan on putting 10W 30 in it at the same time.
I also bought the Tereflex leveling kit for it and as soon as it gets to me I am going to install it.
With all that being said should I wait to get the tires rotated until after I install the leveling kit because I believe I have to get the Jeep aligned once I install them.
Any info will be helpful. I have never had awesome wheels and tires and I'm not mechanical by any means and this is my very first Jeep so I want to take care of her. Well until I get on trails and in the mud.

your tire will not effect your alignment and, an alignment is NOT needed after installing such a small lift. in fact, there's little an alignement shop can do other than recenter your steering wheel and trust me, they'll still charge you full fair just the same.

I figured that would be the case. I'm getting the leveling kit for the time being to get rid of the rake. I appreciate the info. Down the road when I get promoted to Staff Sergeant in a few months I'll be able to get an actual lift kit.

Look into using AMSOIL. (www.amsoil.com)
They have been making synthetic oil since
1973 and they are the #1 product in synthetics.
I swear by them. If you value anything that uses
Oil, be-it a jeep, motorcycle, snowmobile, lawn mower, boat, heavy equipment, or whatever,
This is the oil you should be using.
One of the best examples I can offer is my own
2003 Harley-Davidson Softail, (FXST).
After replacing all the fluids in it with amsoil
Products I needed to return to the Harley dealer
To have the idle lowered back to specs. I currently have over 45000 miles on her and she
Runs like new.
Do your Jeep a favor and replace your regular fossil oil with the best synthetic oil ever made.
In 20 years your jeep will thank you.
