i got to have 265/75/16 MTZ's so i guess im cutting. I love that tire. what needs to be done to make them work what needs to be cut what bs do i need and all that.


32's Hey, well, start with replacing the that spacer lift for a complete coil lift about 3.5 inches or so and long travel shocks. You'll need BIG bumpstops front and especially the rear, 32's are also going to slow you down, look into 4.10 gearing.

You could put on the 32's but, if you don't do all the suspension work properly, if you don't, you will have to limit articulation so much to stop the tyres from fouling on everything that you will actually be making the KJ less capable offroad.

Bigger tyres have to be stopped before they contact the body, so if you don't compesate for that by adding more lift and longer travel shocks that will give back what is lost by the bumpstops it becomes pointless, unless your just in it for looks and not agility then go for it.

Look out for the tyres rubbing on front sway bar and uppper ball joints, also inside the front bumper. Pinch welds of course will have to go, unless you already have lost them.

CD That just means your "Special", You know in an "olympics" kinda way..


But your combo is great, easy to set up, the soft8 16x8 with 5in of BS, Cooper STT's 265/70/16's a 31' diameter but 10.5 inches wide, with 16 inch rim size. So you get it all, articulation, gearing is not overly stressed, and wide tyres, all relatively easy. Yes you had to do your pinch welds, as most do, and cut back the plastic in the bumper (but that makes it look better anyways :P ) and same thing in the rear, bumpstops to stop rubbing and overcompression of the coils.
