Thought about it, but i read a lot about it causing it the hood to bounce.
I kind of think it is good for me though, i am in buffalo,ny and with all of the salt and or ice n snow that we deal with the air dam deflects some of that stuff from building up and rotting my jeep.
Nothing to back my thought on this but i can say that salt is nasty here and it eats up you ride so anyprotection is fine by me.

Nope don't rock crawl and no sand dunes.
Some trails, around town, and on the highway - great option.
***Unfortunately i don't have the fortune of having a offroad only jeep - wish i did though - hmm thinking....***

Seriously, night and day when you go up in size.
I am happy on the highway again, it shifts in all of the correct places, the jeep is alive like never before.

I am running 33x12.5x20 that I put on my jeep because I lucked out and got a crazy deal on both rims and tires that I couldn't pass up. At first I wasn't sure if the rim size was too big but after almost a year of running them on and off road I have no regrets. There is not a lot of places to go true rock crawling around in Florida so it suits my needs for trail and mud rides. I will upgrade to 35's or 37's when I eat through this set but I am in no hurry. I know many don't like the 20 on a jeep but with the right tire and in black they look great in my opinion. So flame away if you must and thanks to those who like the look.
