The wheel/tire combo is much heavier than stock and something you'll certainly notice. The weight difference is significant and required an upgrade to the tire carrier. For reference, I'm now running XR 392 Beadlock capable 12mm offset wheels with Baja Boss M/Ts.

Timely question OP as Iām looking at the same lift. I put 37s on my 4xe without any rubbing issues (turn to turn) on the road, but a lift is necessary to give those tires room to breathe. Iād love to hear from people who have run the AEV and other lifts to get their thoughts.
