The stock leaf springs are junk, the icon kit Keeps the main leaf and the overload leaf and replaces the middle stuff. It’s a minor lift, and no change in payload but resists wrapping up a bunch. Long story short swap leaf spring pack and this should go away or diminish

If you go back through my videos you can see part1-3 and see the evolution. It was on 4” rough country springs, and wound up on 37” milestar Patagonia mt’s with 17” procomp wheels at 4.5” backspace. The jk front diff is wider though so helped tire fitment and front end pushed ahead a little over 2”. This was a constant evolution of learning and solving issues to make it work better

I’d say you are probably on the size you need. The skinnier tires are easier to fit. Reality if you disconnect your sway bar and flex those tires will already rub. It’ll only get worse as you go wider or taller

My white one rides pretty decent. If you drive them to kill them, you’ll succeed but they take a fair bit of punishment and work really well for the money. The triangulated rear suspension in the wj helps the ride a lot and the grands seem to be balanced better than the wrangler or maybe it’s the weight further back behind the rear axle on the overhang that helps.

If anyone could help me with this question I would be incredibly appreciative!! To like the 10th power!..lol. So I have an 2004 WJ straight 6. I typically do my own work ,but with the parts I was needing to replace I just didnt have the proper equipment for the job..lift being one . Anyway one of the new mods is the 2 inch budget lift front and back, and also 1 inch spacers for more aggressive look. The problem now is that the tires that are on it now are LT 225/75/R16. And now with the lift ofcourse they're looking too small and goofy. I'd like to go a size upit Hope's to fill in the empty space and for more aggressive look. I would really like the either the BF Goodrench AT, or even better The General Tire Grabbers x3. I had this same set up, same jeep, different one but same. Anyway the tire shop figured out what would fit. I only had a slight rub in the front fenders which was an easy grind down job with no further issue's. Problem is that was 15 maybe 20 years ago and I cant remember the size🤦🏼♂️. I'm more psyched about the General Grabbers because of the more aggressive look and seem more rounded if that makes sense..? Now in my mind the mechanic whose been working on my jeep should know the answers or atleast be able to figure it out....well it's been put on my shoulders to figure out and in complete lost. My jeep is done and ready to go except for the tire situation. So I could have gotten back a week ago if not for this,but it is what it is. So if ANYONE COULD PLEASE HELP ME AND PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS FOR TIRES YOU THINK WOULD WORK AND LOOK BETTER I AM MORE THAN OPEN TO ANY IDEAS! SO again what I have on now are LT 225/75/r16 and I'm just looking to go a size bigger to fill in the wheel wells better. Thank you in advance! The sooner I can find out the answers the sooner I get my baby back!👍🏻 Thank you for your time, Nick
