I didn't mean to imply you had a stock suspension, only that for the best ride, the tire SF needs to be close to matching the suspension rate to end up with the best ride. I don't know, but someone should know what is right for your BDS lift. The idea is that if the tire is too stiff, the suspension has to absorb the bump and it can't react quick enough to give the smoothest ride. A tire with the correct SF can absorb more of the bump allowing the suspension to do its job. The end result is the best possible ride. I'm no expert, but the springs, shocks and tires have to be in sync to provide the best performance.

The General AT2s give a good, smooth ride.
