Never thought I'd do this but I'm returning the tires I just bought. Replaced my Cooper STMaxxes (made it nearly 60k miles) with Toyo AT3s a couple weeks ago. They are incredibly buzzy, and oddly squirrelly at highway speed. I was really surprised at my reaction. It's weird because they're...

Lol, good point!

Messed around at Iron Range Off Road park in Gilbert, MN a couple days ago. Killed my alternator mudding - still a major bummer that it's mounted low. Anybody done the Mesabi Mountain trail up there? Curious if a winch and 35s are really necessary as is recommended.

Well, that ain't $1,000. Especially with a lift.

Probably depends on your experience. I'd say I'm an advanced amateur, and I'd try both of those, though I've never personally done either. But I like to learn how to do stuff, and I always prefer to pay for better parts from the savings on labor as a bonus. If that all sounds like you, go for...

It did - retorqued everything. I think it was the sway bar.

Yep, I stayed 3rd from the bottom. 20.5" passenger, 20.25" driver up front. Doesn't the SSO kit give another 1/2 inch in lift?

Build Thread, such as it is. I would re-title if I could figure out how. And wasn't lazy.

Metal Tech w/ isolator. I couldn't figure how the SSO could be worth the extra money.
