[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 453995, member: 23341"] Mmmmm 20" Wheels with a 55 low profile tire. That my friend would have been good Intel to share on the first post . That could possibly be much of the problem . A low profile tire offers very little forgiveness or flex. If I'm not mistaken usually low profile tires run higher pressure as well. Which won't help your situation . Most of us run a 17" with the odd 18" out there . Gives plenty of sidewall for flex & airing down . That extra sidewall wil also help absorb road noise and bumps . On the street like you mentioned it's fine . Going off road not so much . Def before you do anything else take care of the tires & wheels . I'm 90 percent certain it will cut down on noises . Cause I'm guessing the other Jeep you test drove to compare had the same tires. For a test and comparison maybe go to dealer and ask to take a 4 Door JLU with 16 or 17" wheels for a spin . Had E rated tires , Rubicon Suspension on a Sahara. Switched the C load tires and made a ton of difference . Turns out the E loaded tires are not a good match with the stiffer Rubicon suspension . But in [USER=21093]@Danarch[/USER] sitituation he is able to run a E loaded tire with an AEV lift and suspension . As the Bilsteins are tuned to the springs and offer a more forgiving ride . So tires , wheel size, suspension can all effect the ride quality and noise . Keep us in the loop. As this thread will help,others . [/QUOTE]
