It just got real

[Jkurubicon2020]

Been wanting to lift my jeep since I got it back in March. Been talking to a shop about lift options and the direction I want to go with it all. Well the other day I found a gentleman on Craigslist selling his tires off his dually and just so happen to be the size I wanted. We worked out a deal and I was off to grab them up. So now I have the tires sitting in the garage waiting. Tires are toyo open country mt 37x12.5r17. Pretty sure I'm about to pull the trigger for the rock krawler 4.5" x factor lift kit. Anyone have experience with this kit?

You might not like the ride of those tires, D load range is a pretty heavy tire for a light JK.

is that about 80lbs per tire??? are you thinking of regearing as well? can't wait to see the result!

My girls JL came with e load tires so kinda know what to expect. The shop for new mickey Thompsons was 1800 for 5 and these were half that for 6.

Think they claim 85 lbs per tire. Im currently running 4.10s. Theres a possibility ill regear in future.

No experience with anything from Rock Krawler, but you're definitely doing to want to re-gear, that's for sure

Congrats on the find though. Can't wait to see them on your JKU.

seems like people with 4.88 regret not to go with 5.13
