Several stupid questions re: tires/lift

[clubmanager]

I had a skid on for a bit but felt like the change in air flow wasnt good for mpg. Ive sorta been on a tare about that lately and with a rubi plastic front bumper and plastic lower air dam I still get 20-22 with the duelers. So id say unless you need a metal front skid, probably not worth it. I cant quite remember well enough to quote but another member said to me when I was talking about the skid and lost mpg, "the jeep is already a brick...why make it less aerodynamic if thats what your after".

The balance between form and function is always hard to find.

But thats just my opinion

Sounds logical. It's mall-crawler so no need to weigh it down unnecessarily.

some little things that will make a difference for you though?

Better head lights. not sure if you got the LEDs. If you didnt I have the LED plug ins I linked below and LOVE them. They made a MASSIVE difference in my vision at night. The ONLY downside is that the white light does wash out a bit in the snow.

For that I have a set of small yellow cube lights I can mount on the bumper for the winter. They dont make a difference for air flow and do make a large difference in visibility in heavy snow fall. Which is thankfully rare where I live.

These are a bit pricey, but as far as im concerned theyre worth it. I have had zero issues for over two years now.

Thanks. Not much snow here so should be good to go and yes, I was thinking of changing over to LED so appreciate the lead. How hard to change out? Clearly, I'm no mechanic!

the website has videos on how to do it. It was VERY easy.

So, I didn't like the rims as much as I thought I would and now considering these: I really like the rims, the tires are 'cooler' than the H/T's I have in same tire albeit mine are 17"

Will these mount pretty easily? Seems like they should but again, better to ask in advance. Obviously, the price at $400 is a deal.
