How did you like the Falken Wildpeak MTs? Specifically interested in hearing feedback related to on road performance and road noise.I ran stock take off rubicon wheels and tires on a 2.5” jks j-Konnect kit. For about a year and a half. Here is some flex shots with that kit. I’ve also add a picture of how my Jeep sits with 33's and 35's now. very last picture is 35's
on the road they behaved rather nicely. noise was pretty quite when new but after a year they started to get a big noisy. The Wildpeak all-terrains where quite start to finish, I had them on a silverado for over 3 years. So far i believe the patagonia MT's are really nice on the road and noise is better than the MT Wildpeaks.
Hey can you post more pictures of your jeep from different angles? I know you dont mind doing that
Are you putting rear bumper back on? You could put the rough country relocation bracket
. Im going same exact route. Rubi with daystar and 33.7’s but no wheel Spacers
I do not plan on doing a rear bumper at this time. I actually too my rear light harness off the stock bumper and spliced in a new set of lights that attach to my license plate. And I made a bracket to hold my plate, works for me.Are you putting rear bumper back on? You could put the rough country relocation bracket
Oh well it looks great . I thought you had to have a rear bumper on as like a law or regulation. Did you measure before and after to see how much lift you got? (Without tires added height)
I just got a new inspection sticker without my rear bumper, the guy who’s shop it was came out to ask me how I did the lighting for the plate and was impressed. I haven’t had an issue yet.
So you got the 35’s on?Well...after less than 24 hours with my lift and 33s, I decided I can't stand the look of the "small" tires after looking at my Jeep in the parking lot at work this morning. This just isn't gonna work out....lol Made an appointment on Friday to get 35s. On top of that, my wife even thought they looked too small but was afraid to say anything to me.
hows it going on 3.45’s? How much actual height did you get from the lift?
From the old tires to new hows it doing? I might move up an extra inchThis is a picture of my current toyos next to my old wildpeak ATs which were 285/70/17. I love the Toyo's the on-road manner is great, very smooth driving with very little road noise. They are 11 inches wide so keeping the stock rims was something I enjoyed, paired with the 1.75 spacer makes a perfect stance in my eyes. Just a few extra pics of diff views for you, I did remove my rear bumper as the spare rubbed when I opened the tailgate.
I don't feel the need to re-gear and my ride isn't sluggish. Losing 8th gear isn't that big of a deal to me. As is losing MPG. YRMV. I think I got a total of 5" with the lift and tires. With about a 2.25" poke. I love the look now.So you got the 35’s on?
i understand how you feel. It does look better than now to be honest. But its your choice whether or not to go up an inch or 2I put a heavy steel bumper and winch on my stock Sport S with 285/70R17 KO2’s. After a few years it sagged the front end by just over an inch. The Mopar lift netted me 5” in the front over what I had. The front is still being sagged by the weight, and if the stock bumper were on it would gain nearly another inch (lifting the front bumper with about 80 lbs of force out of the 180 lbs hanging up there lifts it an inch).
It does look a bit awkward with 33’s now. At least compared to what it used to look like with stuffed fenders.
