I would trip on that step daily, throw a him and twist an ankle LOL
Haha I might have tripped on it a couple times. It’s a beach house that belongs to a friend and I’ll go stay there every once in a while.

Maybe check the wheel and tire section for research. I have similar requirements and went with the venerable BFG KO2's which I was able to get a great deal from @Discount Tire with their price match.

Here is what they look like on a stock height Mojave.

What offset are you running?

Schwab if you like buying expensive. You can order tires through Walmart and have them delivered to the store and only pay $18 per tire for mounting and balancing including road hazard warranty. Now, they don't have road force machines so if the tires need road force then maybe a different shop like DT.

Running 35/12.5/17, Wildpeak AT3s, and Method 703s with 0 offset. Great combo!

I foud XR takeoffs and added these to my 2023 and boy they are louder than the Falken 285 that were on my Rubicon. The ride isnt as good either, factory suspension. I guess worse ride for better looks. 38 lbs in each tire

38 psi is probably a little high. Stock psi is lower and for a smaller and less load capacity tire.

I put BFG KO2s on mine and they were very nice with factory 4.10s. But then I went to the BFG KO2 37-12.50, actually 36.5. IMO, these are just the best tire ever. They ride better and turn easy due to the narrower bowed tread. The 4.10s did OK as they are only 1 pound heavier than the 315s. But I got 4.88s and now life is good. Same or better MPG than the 315s. 37s will be my tire forever.

Mopar 2 inch lift with the fox 2.5s. The springs are level and ride nice. I might add a 1/2 inch spacer. I have no rubbing at all but it's close at full stuff and turn. I thought about going with synergy 3 inch coils but the Mopar springs are just fine.

Hello!
We just ordered the Clayton 2.5" lift for our Rubi. We have the stock rim/tire (33's and Falkens). Want to upgrade to 35's of course due to the lift. Our normal tire store in Oregon (Schwab's) has a couple options, but honestly, I don't know what to choose. We offroad alot, mainly logging roads, forest service roads, etc... However we are starting to split our time between OR and AR. In AR, they have a river crossing about every other mile it seems.
So.... what to choose? Something that can handle Rain (Oregon), Gravel/Forest Roads (Everywhere), Snow (Oregon), and Rocky Paths with River Crossings (Arkansas).
Anyone had a similar design issue? Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Vicky
I’ve been looking for 35 x 11.5 x 17 Nitto ridge grapplers for 2 months and nowhere in Canada!!! Should I move up to a 37?

I've been a huge fan of Goodyear Duratracs ...until yesterday. I ran over a baseball-sized rock in the road at about 40mph and it took out the sidewall in my front, passenger side F-150. I'd always heard the sidewalls on those tires were questionable-- now I know!

I've got Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep and am really glad I went that direction. I've hit much bigger stuff at high speeds with no issues.
