Lookin good Digger ! Welcome to MTR life, how many miles do you have on them now? Are they screaming yet? I remember when I put my new MTR's on they were nice and quiet. Put about 5,000 miles on them and they aren't so quite anymore. Its kinda nice they pit the wife to sleep on long hauls

I had to rotate mine every 3000 miles to keep them quiet (and balance the wear)

thats a good price

Yeah it so good even my wife says to go buy them. Thou without a lift they will sit for a while, but its a savings of $70. The sale goes until April 11th

Just Diggerfreek you scare me as you have not gone big and all this talk about gearing! Maybe I should not go so big. I don;t want to re-gear $$ How much is that?

So if stock is 29" than the closest to 32s but not to wide are these listed below from BFG. This is my daily driver and I do tow so I'm thinking All Terrains.

235/85r16 All Terrains are 31.7" ($162) / Muds are 32" ($174)

245/75r16 All Terrains are 30.7" / Muds are 30.7"

gears cost around 250 a set you need to do both axles at the same time so say 500$ for gears then add install kit 100$ each so your at 700$ then add labor. doing the rear cost me 250$ I did the front axle my self but its at least 250 too + labor to disassemble the front diff lets say an other 300 so it will add up around 1500$ to regear if you dont do it your self. I will save more than that in gas in the long run with 33'' tires but it may not be worth it with 31'' tires

Thanks for the info. I really want a good balanced tire / lift ratio so also want to do this only once. My biggest concern is power loss for towing and offroading, but someone told me in low 4 it no real difference....

I don't know why Jeep puts those skinny goodyears on there from the factory. It's probably because of the CAFE fuel standards set on the car manufacturers. Looks very nice with the MT/R's on there. I also love the black rims
