Default Which Tires?

Ok I am ordering the 2inch OME lift... I plan on eventually getting new tires obviously but I dont know what size is good? This is my daily driver so I don't want anything too rediculous... Any suggestions?

It depends on what springs you get (light duty/heavy duty)...

You can clear 35's with both kits, but you would have more room with the HD's.

I believe most people with the light duty's typically run 33's.

You should be able to run up to a 35x12.5R17 or close metric cousin 315/70R17.

If you want to keep your stock rims you might look at a Goodyear duratrac in 295/65/18. It's a 33x11.5. That's what I'll be going with, don't want to buy new rims.

I have been looking at getting the OME HD coils as I have the RE 2" BB with monoshocks and stock coils for my JK....but I am adding a LOD mid-width bumper/warn XD9000i and in the rear LOD rear bumper with tire carrier. Just curious if a 35x12.5R17 will still fit with the addition weight....IE disconnected and full flex with the OME HD coils????

That should work, mine has 33's and still has plenty of room for 35's and I belive the ome coils have a greater lift to them.
