Just installed the Rubicon Express lift/level kit: JT7134E. Afterward, went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers (285/75/18) on the OEM Overland wheel. Love the way it looks and drives, although the MPG is taking a bit of a hit.

That looks really good, may have sold me in keeping my overland wheels. Can I ask what tire your running and if you have wheel spacers?
Nitto Ridge Grapplers and 1 1/4 inch spidertrax wheel spacers. It would work fine without spacers I think but I liked the look. It does throw dirt on the side of the truck but Gobi dirt doesn't show easily.
I also have a Metalcloak 2.5 leveling kit and teraflex 1/2 inch spacers in the back. I do like the rims but I wish they were 17 inch. Not a big deal. Thanks.

Absolutely - see attached. It's night, so pics may be a bit dark. Let me know if you'd like a daytime shot. The tire lines up right with the fender and splash guard; this is rear right.

They don’t come out past the fenders. They come right even with them.
They come out about an inch. I love the look but it throws dirt on the side. I may end up taking off the spacers. I dont know if I need them for 35s. When I wear these 33s out, I'm going 35.

Anyone try the Nitto Ridge Grapplers 37 x 11.50 R18 on the stock 18" rim?

That's the setup I'm planning on. I'm doing a Mopar lift since I don't want my warranty cancelled. Looks great but how much of a hit in mileage?

Just got the Tazer Mini calibrated this week - I received it a while back, but have been playing with it since in order to get the settings right. So far, the hit appears to be 2-3 MPG on local streets (was in low-20s before, am now in the low-17s) - reminder, Phoenix is VERY flat. Not very much loss observed on the freeway - I leave for work pretty early, and on days with no traffic, I'm still seeing low-20s if the starts and stops are mitigated. Be prepared - it is definitely a heavy tire when compared to the OEM, and I could tell from day one on local streets that each take-off from an intersection felt sluggish.

The other thing is - be prepared for it to 'hunt' between 7th and 8th gear until you adjust the tire size with a Tazer or similar module. I noticed it would hunt big-time, especially on freeway inclines, pre-Tazer install - it would still reach 8th, but regularly go down to 7th (or sometimes even 6th) on the slightest of inclines. Now that I've Tazered it (is that a term?), the shifting is smoother, and 8th is held onto better. Hope that helps -

How was the ride quality change and what PSI are you running? Looking at getting the 295/70r18s of the same tire but the load E rating some people say rattles your teeth out.

Rubicon shocks and springs. Plenty of clearance for street driving. Plan on adding a leveling kit. Sit 1.5 inches lower in the front.
