2014+ Leveling Kits

Yeah me too they remind me of a cement truck tire. The new x3's like mine are actually MT's not AT's but IMO they are kind of right inbetween the two which is why I like them. The x3 is supposed to out perform the old Grabber in every way tho.

When I first read up on the old gen tires on a jeep forum The old ones had problems with rain because the square design gave the water no where to escape.

Yeah I could definitely see that for sure. I never read reviews on them but I don't see how they'd be very good in the deep sticky mud either.

Well half the people in the world with big trucks don't off road, for example here's my sisters boyfriends truck. Will never see mud lol

Yeah I also saw the reviews regarding rain issue which was a reason I didn't get them since we get lots of rain in norcal

Yeah that is very true. I must admit that my truck won't see any real deep mud and I have MT's so I guess I kind of fit into that category lol. But like I said originally I was looking for AT's and for the price difference to the X3 with red letters, it was a no brainer. I had 35x12.5 Duratracs on my 03 with 9" of lift and I loved them. Cool looking tire and performed well. That truck I did take into anything because she had a little rust on the rockers and I didnt feel so bad lol but anyways, regardless of what people are actually going to do with a set of tires, the tire manufacturer still has to keep in mind that if they market an MT tire, at least a fraction of buyers will actually use it for what it was intended and if you make a junk tire, the word will spread. Not good.

Well I might get the chance to test out the x3's in the rain Today. If so I'll chime in with any good or bad.

Not the x3s the old ones. The x3 have small slits to help with water

This is with a 2" Monofab kit, Moto Metal Razors 20x10" with Nitto Grappler G2's LT305/55/20's,65,000 Mile warranty, and no road noise approximately $300.00 per tire. Fender flares. The wheels have an offset that pushed them out almost 2" which is what I wanted. They do have some rubbing issues, may add the 1/2" spacer to the top of the strut. I love the way it looks now, not quite level, but everyone comments on how much they love the way the truck looks. You could get the 20x9" wheels, with 305x50x20's and probably have no issues, or even the wider wheels with the 50 series too

With just the leveling kit you can safely run and clear 33s. But regardless good pickup

That's what I have 33/12.50r20 no rub (as long as it's 4x4) 2x4 needs to get "sculpted" with a hammer lol

Question...

I've got a 2014 Z71 that I just purchased at "Ready Lift - 2.25" Leveling Kit."

Seems pretty self explanatory on the install, but I'm just curious about the "2.25"

Looking at the round spacers, they are only about an inch thick. And the little "C" shaped spacers that go on the bottom are only about 1/4".

Where are they getting 2.25"?

Thanks in advance.

For those of you that have already installed a leveling kit...Which did you go with and why?Do the new aluminum suspension parts impact the install?I hope to get one on my truck in the next couple weeks but want some insights first.

I went with the Rancho 2 inch Quick Lift Struts

That would be great - everyone here does the 3.5 on stock wheels

I haven't seen anyone run 35's with a 2.5 level, much less a 2". If you find someone running them with that, please report back. Even stuffing 34's in there is really pushing it.
