I'm about to purchase some 265/70-17s due to the fact that in the town that I am currently living in, Cordova Alaska, it is really hard/ridiculously priced to get tires shipped in here I got to work with what I got. I kind of want to install a lift but then again I have been looking at the leveling kits. What do you all think? Anybody rocking 265s with a leveling kit or lift?

TheDirtman

why do you want to lift?

I don't do to many crazy trails but the trails that I do go down sometimes are flooded so I just want to make sure I got good clearance and don't have to worry about getting water where it doesn't need to be.

So raising your jeep 2" would guarantee you don't get water where it should not be?

(If you have not done so), I would highly recommend you relocate your front/rear differential breathers, to include your transfer case breather. That will save you $$$ if the roads are that bad.

265/70-17's here with just some 4dr rubi coils. I don't like going any deeper than 36" of water depth.

Did you install a leveling kit on yours?

karls

No, but the stiffer coils have a similar effect for my light 2dr.

I did the same. I installed the 18/59 springs and shocks on mine. Still running the 255/75r17 tires.
