Never ran mine on stock suspension but loved the 33s I was running. Best tire ever. As soon as these KM2s wear out I'm going back to the Duratracs. Great ride on the road and QUIET. Do great off road and in the snow.

I love my 33's (on stock rims) as well. Only ran on stock suspension for a couple of days. Did get quite a bit of rubbing at full turn. Went with a Rubicon 2.5 BB and added the washers to the steering stops. Works great and love the ride!

This is my setup... Sport with no lift

285/70/R17... I removed the plastic airdamn because of a slight rub. The intention was to just shave a little off but then I left it off. Offroad, I rub on the fender here and there so I will more than likely end up witha lift but it's been this way for almost 2 years and no problem what so ever on the road. I love the Duratracs and have over 15K miles on them. They still look almost as new as when I bought them and are very quiet on the road.

265 70 17 with different factory coils which gave me around 1 1/2 inches of lift front and rear..

I went from 14s in the front to 17s and 55s in the rear to 59s. I just realized my pic was before the rear coil swap. As it sits now, I'm 1/2 inch higher in the rear with a winch/bumper combo up front and factory rear bumper. It worked out perfect for me, a little higher in the rear will be good loaded with gear and kids or when towing my trailer.
