Hi Jeep family,

I needed some expertise to figure out if I can run the 285/75/17 BF Goodrich KO2, on the Mopar 2" Lift. Is there a better option than the Mopar lift? Are there any extra parts to consider with a 2"-2.5" lift? I live in Canada and wouldn't be doing heavy off roading. I have the 2021 Sahara w/V6 3.6L. Pictures would also help.

It'll work, but I think your wheel wells will look pretty empty with just Rubicon takeoffs and a 2" lift. You're likely to get an extra 3" with a Sahara since the Rubicon sits about an inch higher than the other trims.

Thanks for that! Would you happen to have a picture? Would I need any extras?

Not me personally, but there are several Saharas on the forum that have Rubicon wheels and tires without a lift though.

They should fit no problem. They are only marginally larger than stock rubicon tires and the rubicon is claimed to be able to fit 35in stock. Picture is 285/70/r17 with a 2.5in lift on a sport s

I have a JL Sport diesel with no lift and 285/70x17s fit fine. If your going to do much off-road I would add the lift.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
for the 285/75/17s on a 2" lift, you'll be fine except under full flex if you keep your stock wheels. You may need wheel spacers to keep from inside contact under full flex. If you only keep it mild off the road you should be ok.
