I am getting a lift fairly soon (rockfather II) and I have decided to run mtr's on soft 8's (undecided on the sizes).

That said, Is it ok, or not, to cross rotate them? I ask because on the net it is mentioned several times that they get louder if you x-rotate. Witch is lame because I want to rotate my spare in. And if i can't, i may consider km2's over mtr's.

Isn’t the Rockfather a poor quality lift?
You can cross rotate the MT/R's, however the KM2's might wear better.

No, the Rockfather is not a poor quality lift. RRO is a poor quality company. There is a difference.

The OME springs that make up the basis for the Rockfather that he is looking at are the same OME springs everyone else uses.

I rotate my MT/Rs back to front and cross corner the fronts to back.And yep they get pretty noisy after that for a bit.

Xr, when you say, for a bit, do you mean, 500 miles or, forever?

The only thing that's noisy about MT/R's is when they start to cup.
