Thanks. Checkout my new Kenda 35x10.5r17 2 inch Teraflex lift kit, 2020 Sport on stock steel wheels. No rubbing, measuring 34 inches at 38 PSI.

Which 2 inch Teraflex lift do you have. This thing looks sick. I have a 2022 Sting Grey Sport on order and this is the look I'm gonna do!

got a long term report on those Kenda's? I'd be interested to know if they do well on Ice and Snow and rain - as well as how they have held up.

They did very good in all different types of snow. Never had any problems in rain and short of using studs they handled ice much like any other all terrain tire I've used. For the most part they remind me of BFGs ATs.

Love that look! I’m in the tall but narrow camp for most uses.

Another option I’m thinking about is switching to an 18” wheel to access the 285/75/18. There are more brands available in that size, however all are E rated or greater which I don’t prefer as the stiff carcass gives a harsh ride.

I like where your head is at - however, the hard 1" of sidewall sacrifice from a 18" from a 17" is difficult for me to swallow - I'd like to running 15" wheels as it legitimizes as much sidewall as possible - not a huge deal on road - while off road it is a big point. As you noted the E Rated sidewalls further muddle the waters about off road plush feel

Got them on this morning. Barely notice any power loss and smoother than the 235 Kevlars. Drove about 57 miles on them and averaged 20 mpg mixed. So no noticeable fuel drop. Speedo is off 2 mph and my Superchip Flashcal module gets here tomorrow. I already have the programmer from my JK. They measure 32.5” and inflated to 34 psi

Did you not try to put one on the rear spare tire carrier? Do you know if it fits?
