interested got a new kk no lift so no bigger tires yet. for most trips what is needed? I don't want to go over board in spending 4000 for a 4" lift and tires. I could maybe get a 2.5" lift and tires for 2500. with a 2.5" lift easily can get 245/75r16 30.5" will this setup work?
Yes. If you can get a 245/75 under there you should do fine on quite a few trails. we Really need to get a KK out on the trail though so we can look at how it performs and where its issues are so we can learn how to spot them and get them over obstacles, etc.
We have gotten pretty good at getting KJ's over stuff and now need to figure out how to do the same w/ the KK's.
I like the 235/85r16 and know they will fit with a 2" but can't find out how much space is there to move. are BFG All Terrian good or Mud this is also my DALIY driver.
Hope to see you soon on a trail. I am already setup with ham radio, do you guys use that? or cb?
Majority of us use CB but a few have Ham also. It would be good to have another Ham operator amongst us. (dang I gotta get my butt in gear and get mine soon!) The 235x85's would be pretty tall and a great choice IF they will fit ok on the small lift. They are what I would like to fit on my wifes KJ in the future. since this is your DD, I would go w/ an AT type tire though a MT Would be better overall for off road. My wife has BFG AT's and they work surprisingly well and are great on road. THere are other brand choices though that work well too, look for the AT's w/ the strongest sidewall as that will be the weak link on tires in the environments we wheel in.
If you can't make the Hangover run, look for an upcoming run up Rattlesnake Canyon early next year. i am hoping to run it when there is some more water flowing in the canyon.
