OK so my stock goodyears are going to need to be replaced soon. Looking at doing it before winter. I have been saving up for a JBA 2.5 lift and then life happens and unexpected expenses came up and drained some of the fundage. Looking at running BFG All-terrains. What is the max tire size I could fit on a KK stock without rubbing. Going on 20K miles of mostly highway and some offroading on logging roads and trails. The only other option would be the 3.5 rock krawler front fork lift. All opinions are welcome. |

Stick with 245/75/16. It will fit fine and not require a regear down the road. |

I love my 265/75r16 they are just shy of 32", but a front lift of about 5" and rear about 4.25" AND they still rub on turns. |

well my suggestion to you is to first do the lift, then do the tires... because not havign the lift limits you to a certain tire size... when you do the lift, the tires are gunna look tiny, and then in about a year your going to get the jeep bug and go bigger. do the lift then slap what ever size rubber ( you can fit) under neath ... that gives you the best and largest amount of options. unless of course you are in need for tires for some reason ( stockers or worn etc...) |

Id say go for the RK lift for now just so u can run a real truck tire. Stock setup wont let u fit anything. at least with the RK lift u can run a 245/75. Hell, i got an RK lift im willing to sell for 250$ |

Stock goodyears are getting worn. leaning towards rk. If so does the stock a-arms need to be replaced? |

Not neccessarily, you will be fine with stock a-arms. You will notice though that with the stock a-arms, the front coils will occationally bump the a-arms... no real issue here other than it sounds annoying and makes u think something is breaking at first, but dont worry, nothing is breaking. Also keep in mind that with the stock a-arms, the angle that is put on the ball joint CAN cause premature wear/tear on them but to put it in perspective for ya, I ran my RK lift for about 6-7K miles with my stock a-arms. When i took that kit off to do my JBA system, i inspected my stock ball joints and they were just fine |
