Default Before/After
Bolted on Duratrac 315/70/17s on Blackrock 909s 17x8 no lift and just tooled around on pavement/hwy Tires 35psi
Have not hit pinch seam yet/ full lock left or right scraping something, I think it's the air dam. Very quite on the hwy, but there is a constant very slight back and forth movement not felt thru the wheel but the whole Jeep at speeds below 50mph tire pressure? Love em !!!

Try lowering your tire pressure to 30 psi. You'll be amazed how much it'll improve your ride.

That's a 2012 right? What gears, which trans, and what is your initial impression (power-wise) driving with the tall tires? Thanks.

Looks good, 100% improvement.

What's the offset on the wheels? Not understanding why you're rubbing unless it's a higher offset on that wheel?

X2 on lowering the tire pressure, I like 28ish myself. Nice looking rig, wheels and tires make the biggest difference. Are you going to lift it?
