Milestars started flaking at 71k miles so trying Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ this go round.
First impressions- feels heavier or more resistance, very aggressive tread and stance. Lost 3mpg. 😡

You got 71k miles out of Milestars and decided to go another route?

Long story. Originally wanted nittos with my build but everything was back ordered for ever. I finally gave in and went with the only 40” tire I could get, milestar. They ended up being awesome on everything but Ice. Which were still ok.

Wind the clock forward wanting to replace them with another set and can’t get them! What are the odds?
I can tell you that my driving habits, 85% on and 15% off road, I feel the milestars were better for me. But in all fairness I only have 250mi on the Mickey’s so they may still wow me. I do like the way they look and sure they will be as good or better in mud and rock.

I'd love to see some front, rear, and side shots of this. I think those tires are the ideal size.

I took off the Pats too because of the issues with ice. Last snow season had me pucker up twice so I’m trying the Yokohama MT 003 this year. Was able to sell the Pats for about half so I was happy.

What kind of suspension travel do you have with the system air up all the way?

Well to be honest, I've had the kit installed since October, but I've only had it up & operational properly for maybe within the last month. Meaning the shop I went with to install it "Enter 3 Letter Name Here" screwed up and damaged several of the components during the process, and decided not to tell me till I got it home and looked it over. So after several weeks of dealing direct with AccuAir, who have fenominal technician support, they were over nighting me replacement parts (100% covered, lifetime warranty) from Florida to California and walking me through every step.

Its a great system, not typical lift when you have to add in air and manifolds, tank, compressor and its all controlled by an ECU module.

So with that, I'm hoping to go out to the 4x4 Training grounds here in Borrego and I will see what it does on the concrete flex ramp and will update with more pictures.

My intention is also not to be a full on crawler either, I'm wanting middle of the spectrum to do mild crawling/trails as well as some overland, looking to add like an ORU Camper shell with roof top.

Good to hear they covered everything for you!
Can the system be set for any ride height, or is it full droop/max height only?
