Found a Shop Willing to Install OME Lift Now I Need to Pick Tires

[Hedsic]

Interesting, because I was told by one of the guys at All J on Friday morning that I absolutely will not need them as long as I stay below 3" of lift.

You are correct, if you stay below 3" you'll be fine with the stock UCA's.

My mistake I thought the Frankenlift gave you more lift than just using OME springs & shocks. They give you 2 1/2" so the Franky gives you less than a 1/2"?

Sorry for the thread jack but I'm confused now!

No need to apologize. If you have questions go a head and ask them here as I'm done for now with my questions regarding lifting my KJ.

Though now I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas as I wait for my Franklift to arrive.

I feel like the answer to this is an obvious yes, but I"m going to ask anyway. So I'm about to order 245 17 16 Duratracks from Tirerack - should I purchase a 5th tire for the spare?

 

[Hedsic]

Yes, if you got the extra money purchase the spare.

Okay so Pep Boys is who is going to install my kit for me. They, however cannot get the Duratracks, because according to them Goodyear has stopped producing that tire. I know I can get them from Tire Rack, but if I have any issues and Tire Rack has sold out my road hazard warranty will be worth toilet paper. So are there any other tires out there that are just as good on/offroad. That I can get a lot of mileage out of and are not heavier than necessary.

You could always give the Duck Commander tires a try lol

I've read good things about Toyo Open Country MT's

LOL! :killer:

Are they more AT than MT? I think I really need an AT.

Lol, the duratracs are one of their most popular tires they ever made. I find it very hard to believe they discontinued them, especially since the Goodyear shop I was in last week still has them on their display wall.

I'd find a better/more honest shop if it were me...

You are correct! I contacted a local Goodyear dealer this morning and found out this is not true and I will have Duratracs installed tomorrow.:emotions34:

PepBoys for a lift install????
Good Luck with them hope they know what they are doing and everything must be tightened after full weight is on the ground etc. Have heard some stories about them.
