Hi,
I have a '19 JLUR on the way (2.0) and I would like to upgrade to 35" tires. I'd like to do this with minimal impact to the DD capability of the Jeep, while still achieving useful off-road increases in capability.
I'm considering BFG KO2s in 325/70R17 since they have a load range C offering. I'd prefer a more aggressive tread pattern but don't want to kill the ride or add a lot of road noise. Open to suggestions here.
As for wheels, would the stock wheels work well with this tire? They seem a bit narrow. I'd rather not spend more if not needed, but if a wider wheel will make a notable difference, I'll do that. The Mopar beadlock wheels seem nice and only add 5lbs a corner.
I have read reports of people having issues with the backup sensors, which I would rather avoid.
Finally on the suspension lift - I like low center of gravity builds. I'd like to lift the minimal amount for full articulation off-road with swaybar disconnected. I'm leaning away from Mopar and towards Teraflex but I am completely open to options here as well.
On road driveability matters to me, so does off-road capability, so I don't mind spending more as this is a tall order. I'm just looking for those with experience to help guide me so I don't spend a fortune rebuying everything.
I have the steel bumper group and will have a winch mounted to start. I'll eventually get aftermarket f/r bumpers (with tire carrier) but wanted to wait a while as the aftermarket grows and people figure out the quirks.
Thanks! Posting this in general as it touches on just about everything, so doesn't fit in any one category on the forum.
