bought my 17 this summer with 27k on it. the low mileage trucks are out there...just have to be patient. although the market is nuts right now. I could make like 8k if i sold it right now but i like it too much lol

i ended up doing 2" front and 1" rear just because i usually have some weight in the back with tools and stuff you should be fine with the 275s. I originally wanted 285/60r20 but these were cheap so i scooped them up.

Found these tires/wheels on marketplace 20x9 et1 wrapped in 305/55r20 they rub on the little plastic fender guard things but a razor knife will fix that. A little loud but it’s whatever. Love the stance.

you have the stamped arms? it seems a bunch or people were rubbing with factory 20s and anything larger then stock tire size.

for those of you with larger tires on stock wheels and stamped arms..how badly does it rub? i need tires before winter and was going to go with 285/60r20 on the stock wheels and then get different wheels in the spring. Does it just rub at full lock? I am ok with that for now. the truck is a 2017 high country with 2"front leveling kit

i called motofab to confirm this before ordering. they advertise based off the amount of lift, not the block size. i went 2" in front, drove it for about a month and decided i wanted 1" in the rear as well. It is super close fender measurements but still looks like it has some squat. the 1" rear should be perfect.

Ah bummer I’ve got the 8 speed. Maybe someday it will have a solution. and seems like we’re in the same boat with the exhaust lol. I don’t mind where it sits now. Looks better imo tucked up like that.

double post but...whatever installed the gibson cat back last night. i got the dual side exit behind rear tire. fitment was solid but i think i have to tweak a bit as the front pipe is melting the plastic guard below the bedside. one thing that was annoyning is that they didnt give a new front clamp to go over the flared end. luckily my buddys stainless works exhaust came with 2 so he gave me the extra. it sounds awesome for a daily driver. can barely hear it on the highway. No drone form v4 mode whatsoever and it sounds quite loud under heavy accel really happy for the 550 or whatever it cost.

i assume this is for the 6 speed right?

truck looks good! i took my steps off and have just accepted the fact that ill be buying a replacement seat cover in a couple years lol

going to bookmark this setup for when my shocks eventually need replacing. this is perfect IMO

picked up a K&N intake (the plastic one) for $50 on market place and installed it. ill be swapping out the filter for the dry one asap but for now it sounds AWESOME. I have the 6.2 and its silent when cruising but great sound when giving it some go. bought it purely as a noise maker and dont feel/expect any gains.

yea but i guess thats a huge slippery slope. Thats like not being able to sell gasoline because if used improperly you burn your backyard down. i think some of the new cars these days have more obnoxious headlights even when compared to my 04 that i had the ole ghetto HID in halogen housings lol....wont do that again. anyways...it look like the 35w HIDs are the way i will eventually go.

18.6 over my first 2 weeks of ownership. 1500 miles of mostly highway driving and some around town use. I dont have a heavy foot per say but do get off the line a bit quick. Traffic on my morning/afternoon commute moves at 75-80mph

i went with the 2" in the front and the measurements are spot on for fenders but still looks like som squat. Does anyone make a 1/2" blockor is the smallest available a 1"? im tempted to go down to a 1.5 front but love the way the front end sits.

since when has a modification being illegal stopped anyone from selling it? that sounds kind of crazy. Thats a federal law or state? pretty lame of them. They cant just market it for offroad use only like every one that sells pretty much any other modification?

i ordered the thicker gasket but was too impatient to wait for it lol

cool thanks for the reply. I really only drive on construction sites or the sand when we go out on the beach. Aired down to 15psi a slick 285 would still be ok so tires dont matter much there lol as for 2 sets of tires i say why not. If you have space and money go for it. Ive thought about putting winter tires on the stock wheels as well.

welp the stain that was removed before i bought the truck on the headliner is back. 3rd brake light had water in it so im assuming its that. ran a bead of silicone around the gasket area and screw holes. fingers crossed!

why the hate on the AT3? i had them on my grand cherokee the XL ones or whatever with the more aggressive side wall and was going to put the same on the truck. curious as to maybe the higher rated at3 being bad on the trucks

ah ok that makes sense. could always just run a stock size tire for the winter. You want a skinnier tread anyways for snow.

which ones are you planning on going with? for the cost it may just be cheaper to get a leveling kit that comes with the UCA as they are meant to fix ball joint angles associated with the lift. so even though you wont rub with OE aluminum arms, they still will have an improper angle...supposedly. Personally, i am using the rubbing as an excuse to go with aftermarket wheels and sticking with stock arms and a 2" level

I used a diode but now thinking about it, having the reverse lights come on with the cargo lights may be cool for what I use them for.

Installed the motofab 2” leveling kit. Sits 39 front and a hair over 39” rear. Also got the windows tinted today. 15% all the way around.

I picked up a 2017 high country on monday. Crew cab standard bed with 6.2. its only got 26k on it So far this week -stubby antenna -remove steps -wire cargo lights to reverse -wire fogs to stay on with highs -led cargo, reverse and plate lights -installed bed tie down points -tint tomorrow (15% all around) -2" motofab level shows up today next up will be an exhaust (probably gibson) but for now its just nice to be in a truck again. Im coming out of a grand cherokee i had for 4 years.
