try this again..these are the 305/70/17's discussed in earlier threads--IMHO-they bridge the gap well, between 33 & 35"--all of the benefits of both, without the drawbacks of either!!--no rubbing, and never give the feeling of being, just a little too small

your rig looks pretty perfect with that lift/tire combo...
nice job.honestly, hows the 4.10/auto combo with the 34's?
Overdrive off or on? contemplating the same combo.

shucks!
-thanks!--It took some getting used to-I love the set-up-plenty of lift and clearance, body, chassis, wheel wells, etc... and yet to get hung up on any trails I've done--the best part is, no excessive wear on driveline components due to just the mods!-the 4 doors catch alot of breaks bcuz of the longer wheel base. we get just a little more out of the lifts.--The 4:10 is plenty for now, the only problem is the bigger tires fool the tranny into awkward shift points sometimes. typically on steep hills, strong headwinds. the computer needs to be tweaked, ala Hypertech.-after resetting the shiftpoints, and tweak a little for fuel-it should pretty damn close to stock again.--just collecting funds for the Hypertech
-Are you stock now, or just changing up a little?

Are the awkward shift points with OD on or off?
Hows the spare fitment & clearence? Any modification needed? (It looks like you had your BFGs still on there but did you try and mount your MTRs before putting your spacer on?) Thanks for info.

Got the jeep end of December & just finished recovery (phase 1) since I knew exactly what I wanted (ARB/Powerplant, CB & RH skid). As soon as it warms up here in Jersey I'll be putting on an OME lift. The tires are the final piece of the puzzle. Ideally don't want to regear at this point - so I've been checking out mostly 33s. Had forgotten about GY MTR 34s so it seems like a great option as long as the auto isn't dogged too much & OD is still functional.

BUMP...Anyone else running 295/70R17?
BUMP...anyone else have 295/70R17s on an Unlimited 4DR? While I wait for my wheels to come in, I'm debating between the BFG KM2 (285) and Cooper STT in 295 and I would love to see some more STTs in that size!
