Thank you for making that post about your install! I already have post #4 bookmarked, ready for my new LCA install this week. Reason: "I used my 150 ft. lb torque wrench maxed out, then used my breaker bar for another 45 degrees of final torque to tighten the four bolts.". I didn't want to comment on the new LCA's I have on order until my test run was complete. I'll reply when my new LCA test run is done.

An alignment check after the install is also recommended.

Looking forward to hearing how your test run goes, I think you'll be liking it

I went from a load E 33” tire to a load C 35” tire and the weight was about the same. Load C tires are typically much lighter than an E range one.

My question is, what happened to "D?"

Yeah, I like my Ds, good compromise, a bit lighter and more air-down compliant than Es w/ good overall protection from the thicker carcass vs. a C or the even lighter SLs.

From my experience, certain tires are not offered in D or C load ranges. E is the most available range, but that usually limits your sizes and brand/model. I went for a 35x11.5x17 and really wanted a load-C for an improved ride quality. Depending on your application, mine is more daily driver / on road, should determine what tires you need. Many owners love the M/T look but use the Jeep as a DD, high mileage which is probably not ideal. I went from the OEM Destinations M/T>Grabber A/Tx's (load E)>Toyo A/T Open Country (load C). The current Toyo's are absolutely the best ride quality. My Willys drives smoother than the wife's Grand Cherokee Limited X on the highway.

Nice I did pretty much the same except i threw in some teraflex leveling spacers and went with 33 MTs on cheap aftermarket wheels.
