Re: Stock Jeep - Tire Size
 

I starting thinking about the four year old springs a poster mentioed
earlier. I have a hardtop, and I am sure the extra weight of it takes it
toll over time. So, I surfed over to
http://www.rocky-road.com/tjtrailblazer.html and looked at their 4" lift and
spring kit. It claims that the ride will actually be smoother! One thing
that bothers me is the safe up to 80mph statement. I ride on the interstate
at times, and it is not too far of a leap for me to travel at that speed.
Has anyone else used this kit (old man emu), and what do you all think of
it?

Thanks!

OME Lifts are tops. They're some of the smoothest riding Jeeps I've ever
been in. (Don't worry about the speed limit).

Thanks! Pricy, but I think probably worth it in the long run.

What is a BFG Land Terrains? Is this something Walmart has made up special?
I've never heard of LandTerrain. The cost is nice.
