I weighed a 33 inch duratrac 12.5" with the MB72 alloy and it was 6 lb lighter than the rubicon take off rims with 32 bfgoodrich tire. (65 vs 71lb). The stock steelies with goodyear 225 sra was 53 lb. I have noticed a difference in the feel of the jeep with the wider tire and lighter shoes. the flashpak and the weight loss equal better ride and performance.
Oh yeah...1.5" performance leveling kit from Teraflex...

Major kudos for Discount Tire...
Lost my lug key somewhere, went to the local shop to buy another and they just game me one for free. I'm just not used to good service like this.

This my 2011 Anniversary Edition Unlimited with MB72s and 33 x 12.5 x 15.
I did not lift it and did not need to mod the third brake light.

Thanks for the tip!
