What do you need from your tires. How will it be driven and what type of off reading?

im not going to be crazy rock climbing. but id like to be able to get up a tight spot if needed. I like mudding. more higher speed then just cruising.

Sounds like your driving style is a little heavy footed. I think a small body spacer would work for you. I would look at the cooper stt tires. I had them on my first jk and they held up 60, 000 miles and still looking new. They handled most terrain well but its very mucky here and they where hard to clean out. One more thing if your going to be standing on the skinny pedal your gonna need mild aftermarket shocks

Body spacers are frowned upon with the JKs. Try looking for a leveling kit and some good mannered mud terrain for the street

You'll love a long arm, long travel suspension system.

Sounds like you need some coilovers and airbumps! Ideally, that is.

Read a post by someone who tried and doesn't recommend the JK for high speed catching air wheeling. Once airborne, the JK is ungainly and doesn't fly and land with grace. It doesn't even sit level at a dead stop, the leaning stance. Wish the search field worked better.

Check out the TeraFlex JK LCG Prerunner Suspension System. It's built for speed and durability.
