pixs of lift tires if ur interested
Got the 295/60/20s installed today onto my 20 x 9 chrome wheels. Thats a 34x11.5 inch. No rubbing, plenty of room for bigger if one so desired. Nitto rides as smooth if not smoother than my Toyo A/Ts even in this size. Truck drives like stock, no significant loss in power or anything note worthy. Incredibly happy with my choice in size, any shorter it would look like stubby, any taller I'd be too big IMO. Thats a 2.5" inch leveling kit, 1.5" rear spacer, and air bags. Everything works good. Overall about a 4 inch lift including the tires in the front, and about 3 inches in the rear also including extra sidewall height of tire. I will be purchasing Mopar fender flares, and the cool thing is that they come in the color of my truck so I will not need to paint them.

Truck looks great!! I can tell you one thing that is going to change, your mpg's are done. I lost 2.5 highway and 1.5 city, with this winter gas I am getting around 12 which is another 1.5 - 2 mpg lower then usual.
4x4 work o.k. no vibration? thats my main concern about the leveling kit is the issue that other readers are having. some have no issues others have to take the lift off because it has worn the cv joints to the point of replacement.
Thanks guys! No vibrations, no wobble. The kit doesn't effect the warranty and I made sure I got in writing from the dealer that it wouldn't, so if anything does go, they said no problem it would be covered. The only thing I need to do now is get Diablo to help me with my programmer to readjust my tire size so everything is in sync again. Ahh it feels good towering over Jeeps again lol
I have driven the truck long enough to make a real accurate analysis of the losses yet. Around city I could certainly see it sucking me down, but backroad and highway I would probably be inclined to think it be the same with the bigger revolutions aiding in that.

I have the same front end lift that he has and I have about 11,000 miles on it now and have had no issues. I also have never ran it in 4wd for any long period of time. I am in NH now hoping for snow so I can take it for a run with the 4wd on. I used a superchips programmer to fix my speedo and I still see the loss. My mpg calculation is all computer for the before calculation and the after calculation. I also just ran another 700 mile trip and reconfirmed the 16.5 highway. Keep in mind I do 70-75 on the interstate.
Sweet pdavis. That was the other thing I forgot to mention was yesterday I ran about 50 miles in 4WD, no problems in snow storm. I will keep all updated however as the winter is just beginning here in Maine.
Looks good and with primarily on road use you probably picked the best tire of the ones you were looking at. I think the size of the tire for the amount of lift is perfect.
I would have gone with a wheel with about 4.5" of backspacing and a negative offset to throw those tires out of the wells a bit, widening the stance, but that's just my personal preference. They do look good though...
