My girlfriend likes the ride. My mom complained....but the lift was also "a huge waste of money on a perfectly good truck" to her. I can't fight her aside from the fact that she might not buy it off me for my sister. Took my Dad and I a few days to prove to her that I still have all the stock stuff lol

I'm surprised my Mom hasn't said anything about it, but then again she knows how I am with mods and my love for mechanics. My Dad approved since it's such an upgrade for a pretty cheap price. (I got the Econo lift)
I still have my stock stuff, too. Still don't know what to do with it. Save or sell.

My Dad is a car guy like me. He likes the look. He says the front feels a little too stiff(which it did when brand new, 5k miles later and it softened up a bit, but he hasn't been in it recently). He actually helped install the lift with me. We're gonna butt heads when it comes to my future JKU....but that's a few years down the road lol

My mom has a Ford Escape, 2010 white. She has been driving my lifted KK for about 6 months. She knows its lifted and has never complained. She's 75. Okay she has always mentioned the waste of money all of us have spent making our vehicles :roll: better.

On this topic,,, I have also been ready to pull the trigger on some new tires and also thinking about some new wheels.

For those with experience in the set up let me know what you think. I have done a ton of reading on this and other forums and it seems this set-up would likely work.

- Currently: Stock wheels with 2 inch lift and 245/75/16 BF A/T

- Thinking about: Cragar Soft 8 16X7 with 4 inch BS. For tires thinking LT245/75R16/C Duratracs.

I would appreciate any advise on this. I think it would look good on my Cactus Green Renegade but really want a better stance with the tires and backspace. What do you think??

(Looking at these wheels at Summit, Cragar 3977712)
