New 315/70r17 Toto AT III on JLUR

[blackrock]

I Swapped the stock BFG KO2s for Open country AT3s. Did a lot of research and so far I love it. Ride feels smoother than BFGs, and they fill the wheel wells so much better. I have a manual transmission and didn’t want to go to 37s so these are perfect. I am running a 1.5” teraflex spacer kit and LOD front and rear bumpers with a winch. I hadn’t seen many pictures that showed a clear before and after, so hopefully these can help somebody.

That looks great. I just installed a Teraflex 2 1/2” lift and am shopping around for 35’s looking for a decent deal. Reading and hearing good things about the Toyo’s

I have been super happy with the ride so far. I got the load range c and it is definitely a smoother ride than the BFGs were.

Would you happen to have a link to the spacer kit you used? Great looking Jeep, btw!

No rubbing at all? Full wheel lock to lock?

 

[blackrock]

Only had it on road so far but no rubbing at full lock. I used the kit at this link

Does the spare fit the spare tire carrier without issues?

How does it ride? Did it throw off caster any? Thank for the link, btw.

Any time you add spacers in front, or longer front springs the caster will decrease approximately .75 degree per inch of lift. Only way to lift without affecting caster would be a body lift.

So would you recommend using the longer lca's from Mopar when using this spacer kit?

and did Discount Tire mount those tires to your factory wheels without any issues?

Fits the tire carrier perfect. But I’m not sure if the LOD rear bumper allows for more room than the stock bumper. It looks like it might.

Yep. Even offered to sell me 37” take offs from another Jeep they had on the rack.

Those Toyos were on my list,but would up. With Duratracs. I like these much better than the OEM KO2s, but these are noisy compared to stock. How are the Toyos with noise compared to the KO2? How about wet roads? That was another reason I switched out.

Since you already have a Rubicon your caster is on the low side (probably around 4 to 4.5) so adding another 1.5" of lift would decrease caster another 1.5 degrees give or take. Adding the longer Mopar LCAs would get your caster up about 2 degrees so you'd probably end up around 5, hope that makes sense
The LCAs will help for sure, but you may want adjustable LCAs to get up to 6 degrees.

You could always add the lift w/ the Mopar LCAs and see if you're happy w/ the drive, it's only an $80 set
