    Hello from Casa Grande, Arizona

    Welcome. I currently have 255/75R17 BFG K03 A/Ts (~32") and they have been a good all around tire. When it comes time for new tires I'll probably look at Falken Wildpeaks, too ..

    Do spacers need to match?

    That last drive was probably the proverbial nail in the coffin... When you were driving the lugs were loaded and at a higher temp so you didn't notice anything abnormal. When you stopped you removed the dynamic load, and everything cooled a bit (relatively speaking). Start moving again and...

    Do spacers need to match?

    First thing I would do is understand why the wheel stud broke. Looking at the uneven wear patterns on the face of the spacer there was a clear loss of clamp load which caused the wheel to move relative to the spacer. Were lug nut torques not checked or is there a quality issue with the spacer?

    Suspension Recommendations

    Agree with this... Wheelbase goes a long way (no pun intended - or maybe it was 😂)

    Thoughts about Gladiator towing capacity

    Nice! Wheelbase definitely has a large impact on ride. Sounds like the 8sp is a nice addition on the JL/JT. So are you getting rid of the JK or keeping both? Congrats!

    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Forgot about that since I just have a lowly Sahara! 😂

    What did you do to your JK today?

    @WSS do you just use flux core with that or carry a gas supply? Ever tried aluminum? Thx!

    Very cool! Have you had to use the Readywelder out in the wild yet??

    Soft top downsides?

    That's why I bought this last year. They had a screaming good deal on them. It only takes up a few extra feet in the garage and is easy to use: https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-jk-today.28768/post-466046
