I’m considering the Mopar 2.0 lift with the BF Goodrich KM3 tires in the 295 70 17 size for my 2018 JL Moab stock wheels. Is the lift a good idea? And are these the best tire choice for the stock rims, which I intend to use?

You can run a 315/70/17...a bit wider. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ is a great site to compare sizes and see the differences. I'm putting the 315/70/17 on my MOAB, stock rims, Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I drive on the road, and some sand. I ran a Mopar lift on my last Jeep (Arctic Edition Sahara), and ran the same setup. Also put Spidertrax spacers to push the tires out a bit, I feel the jeep handled better.

This looks awesome. I wonder whether there is any significant differences between your lift and the Mopar 2.0 lift I'm installing. Mine is getting done tomorrow, and I'm excited to see it. I'll send some pics with the lift and 315/70/17 KM3s.

Awesome - can't wait to see pics. That said the Mopar lift nets more hight - mine is 2.5" - the mopar is about 3.5" - so you may see more wheel gap with 35's.....
