mine looks exactly like timmyb457 posted 'finished my lift' back a few days ago (and he is smart enuff to get a picture in!
The 70's look kinda small, and since I have 35k+ on them, I am thinking of getting bigger.

| Post subject: | finished MY lift, now which tires??? |
I went with new coils, OME 790s front, Rustys rear, 3 isolators rear to even it all out. Ride is nice so far, off to Sedona this weekend to try and break something.... But of course as soon as my kids saw it finished... 'You need bigger tires!'... I have 245/70/R16s, what is the debate on going to a 75/16 vs a 17 inch rim? oh yeah, and how do you post pictures to this forum?? thx |

easy answer first have picture on a photo site - like Car Domain or Image Shack right click on picture scroll down to properties - open copy address (http/ect ect.jpg) go to edit post click on Img paste address click on *Img submit post http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=2349 and then tires first - decide what you want to do i.e. driving to/from work and offroad once a month - will have a different answer than off road trails every weekend. in my case - I've gone to Moab twice - but it's 1200 highway miles to get there the MTR's were okay on the road - awesome at Moab the Kumho AT's were great on the road - okay at Moab and in general - tires for a 16" rim will be cheaper with more variety than 17" tires for a 15" rim will be cheaper with more varitey than 16" lots of opinions here http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=8 |

Wow, even after the lift is installed you mean 245/70R16 tires don't fill the wheel wells? You'll definately have to post some pics or at least point us to them. |

ok, here we go. I am torn because I probably have ~ 5k miles left on the BFgs, although they are slipping in a good rain....

I think you can definately go bigger. I just found out today that you can get a BFG KM2 in a 255/70/16 That would look sick!!! |

| Post subject: | finished it up, road tested in Sedona |
here is the finished deal, went with the BFG 245/75/16s, some rubbing on both the airdam and inner liner at full turn which I need to cut out. bottom line, the ride is nicer (drove 100+ freeway miles) then the factory, and the lift let me chase the infamous pink jeeps all over the sedona 'secret' trails like Broken Arrow, Soldier's Pass, etc. If anyone wants some scenic trails, these are the best! The tourists were impressed that I had a Liberty up there ('Dad, why can't we get our own Jeep?!?!?'), but many of them were bummed that I was chasing them down... the guides were actually cool and were giving me pointers on other places to go.
Couple of new clunks to go chase down, but that is part of the game!!! Charleau Gap is next.... 
How do you put in bigger pictures??[/img] |
