40k miles on stock size shouldn't have worn it out but it's still worth a check if you are mildly handy it takes just a few minutes. Some ball joints go forever despite abuse (mine just wore out despite heavy wheeling towing and 38+ tires at 65k miles) but my wife 4xe lasted all of 40k miles...

How many miles? I've found bouncy often means bad ball joints or hubs, especially in the cold weather

I'd get track bars or track bar brackets front and rear to get the axles centered. Your other best bang for the buck is going to be control arms geometry brackets. Will get the angles right for relatively cheap and also improve ride. Then just skip the alignment since they can't do anything but...

It's not cheaper to lift 4.5 properly than it is to just go for a budget 2.5 and 38s. Not to mention you're still not gaining any clearance under the axle, and with a 2.5 lift you can get away with upper front control arms to adjust caster and track bars to center and you're gonna be fine off...

The gladiator is a long weiner dog, so 35s aren't going to cut it for serious rock crawling. Look to move up to 37+ as you really only need a 2.5 inch lift to clear 37s and if you split the fenders you can even do 39s with reasonable bump stops (~3 inches) on a 2.5 inch lift. 4.5 inch lift on a...

They should since you already mounted them, they just won't do anything with the bolts, do retorque in 100ish miles. Since these are straight in to aluminum all of mine were loose after 100 miles.

Yeah so you measured squish not the actual rolling diameter which is bigger but not as tall due to the super soft sidewalls

Did you calculate that as pie or did you actually measure the outside of the tire? I've found the bfgs are pretty close in circumference but just squish like crazy to make them seem a size smaller

I got the mickey thompson Baja Boss in 35x12.5 for 250 a tire from wally at the same time as these. A bit small but fine for a wrangler

These were probably the easiest beadlocks I've ever mounted, everything snug in beautifully. Balance with the 35x12.50 baja boss at was between 1 oz and 5 oz which is also excellent. Do recheck the torque after 100 miles every single bolt was loose again and required retorquing.

Bfgs do indeed have multiple compounds, some are 3pmsf rated some aren't. The non winter rated wear like iron as they use a hard compound. The non-3pmsf are much better but also wear much faster.

We have at4w on the wife jl 4xe, they're great and I would not hesitate to buy another set. Balanced with almost no weight even on beadlocks and are very smooth and quiet. They would definitely be my pick compared to bfgs which I have had 0 luck balancing with out needing crazy amounts of...

The 2.0 has proven to be the more reliable and powerful one, not sure id say thank goodness lol

The demon and hellcat deletes the spare tire to run aux coolers where the spare tire is. They also are rated to tow absolutely nothing and have to pass no towing test, much less one up a dam at over 100 degrees ambient. We can't even cool the diesel towing at relatively low loads and you expect...

Lol, the current tundras and Tacoma's are are proving horribly unreliable but maybe you'll get lucky

I think the real question is did you hook up a misfire counter and how many did you have on the drive home lol

If you want a serious answer, yes we should, imo most likely it's a tow rating issue being deemed unacceptably low due to heat and they don't want to sink money in to fixing that. Question answered, please commence the off topic

I assumed these wagoneers mostly just ran over curbs and Priuses, not actual offroading
