Just wondering if I’ll need a relocation mount or if I can get away with a couple bucks in my pocket...

It certainly depends on the tire. BFGs, for example, always run at least a full inch shorter than their rated size. I can't remember if the Sport's tire carrier is positioned differently than the Rubicon, but my 35" KO2s just barely cleared the rear bumper. If I was running any other tire of the same size, I doubt it'd have fit.

I’m thinking about some Patagonia M/Ts

315/70-17 stt coopers fit on mine, it rests on the bumper, which gives it added support. No shaking from it at all. I like that it rests on it. First time closing the gate with it on i had to hold it up a slight bit, but now it shuts just fine and sits snugly.

Also could I see more pics of your Jeep? It looks pretty good.

Not sure about sport, but no issues on a Rubicon. Go to a dealer and compare the tire carrier positions. Probably the same.

Americas tire price matched amazon, even though they said they wouldnt the guy hooked me up. which was like 215 a tire or so during black friday. Sure, Heres a few of the wheels and tires after i put them on.

Yeah I love the Patagonia’s but discount tire doesn’t sell 315/70/r17 on their site for some reason so I guess I’ll probably go with the Cooper STT Pros then. Your Patagonia’s look great though!

Interesting, that is where I bought them. They were on the site a month ago. I think there are starting to be supply issues.
Just looked and they are there. Search by brand then size. If you search my vehicle they will not come up.

If youre set on the patagonias, northridge4x4 has a pretty good price on them. Ive done a lot of buisness with them.

I had the rc spacer lift to begin with, those pictures are rock krawler xfactor 2.5, i now have metalcloak 2.5 gamechanger. The spacers are decent, i had no complaints when i had them.

Did you get the n3 shocks with the spacer kit? Also did you install it yourself or did you get it installed at a shop, if so how much was the install?

Thanks

Could you link me that discount tire URL? I have a buddy that works there so I get a good 30% off them but I couldn’t find them on the site..

Thanks

No i just had the spacers, i had falcon 2.1s i put on with them and jks quick disconects. I did the install myself, pretty straight forward. I try to not pay a shop to do stuff unless i lack the expensive tools required for a job lol.
