On amazon back in June. They were sitting in my saved portion of my cart and I got a notification the price had dropped. The next day they were back up to the normal price. The tires took about two weeks to ship out and the ones they sent were 265/70R17s, lol. (31s). I contacted amazon and they send return labels for those 5 and then shipped 5 of the right size. As of today, only 3 have shown up. So although I got a smoking deal, its been nearly a month since I ordered them.

Tires have all arrived. I mounted and balanced them myself and I'm absolutely loving 35"s with a 2" lift. The Patagonias balanced up very well, only needing as much as 3oz to balance. That's incredible for a 35" MT.

I also did a 0-60 run with my Tazer JL mini to get some before and after numbers. Runs were with in 30 minutes of each other and the speedometer was recalibrated for the new tires. A total of 3 runs with each tire size.

with 285/70R17
1. 10.48
2. 10.90
3. 9.80
AVG: 10.39 sec 0-60

with 315/70R17
1. 12.06
2. 12.36
3. 11.00
AVG: 11.80 sec 0-60

So its 1.4 seconds slower 0-60 times with 35's. It's not as bad as I thought it would be... I think I can do better. Who's hungry for a Hamburger?!?!

I've added Rusty's 1.5" rear spacers and their shock extensions. You can read about it here:

RC 2.5" front with Rusty's 1.5 Rear Spacers

Minor fabrication was required for bump stops.

I tried to replicate the picture from a previous post for comparison. My wife said the truck looked "skittish" like it was skulking or getting ready to run away with the front lifted higher lol.

I was surprised how it changed the way the truck drives. After lifting the rear, the truck feels sporty and proud. I do not like the way cars feel when the rear sits low, like a worn-out caddy. Yes, it may be soft and smooth... but like a weak handshake :(
Now it looks and feels right again.
Looks great. I have a mojave so the front is 1” taller. So going to add the 1.5” teraflex front and a rear 1.5”. What did you do for the rear bumpstop and did you do a shock relocation for the rear? Thanks

I fabricated a rear bump stop extension, nothing too fancy. And I used a shock relocation from Rustys off road.

I did a little write up a while back here

Go to post #7 to see the rear bump stop extensions.

I added the Recon fender vent flags. Hard to see in the image but the black portion is striped like the flag. They match "Rubicon" perfectly
