Tires and lift

[Whiteknight]

General Graber X3 35"x12.5, on Granite Alloy GA643 17x8.5, 2" Mopar lift, with fox front stabilizer, will also make adjustment for speed of vehicle. Anybody who has done something similar and has helpful ideas of what else should be done to make this good transition for JT and me. Thanks, just making sure not missing or messing something up will regret later.

I added adjustable trackbar to re center the front axle. On my Mopar 2" it was off to the driver side about 3/4". Also tpms threshold you will probably want lowered for the larger tires, Tazer JL Mini can do both. In addition with lift and larger tires you may want to look at Rokblokz mudflaps to keep slop off the sides if you drive in winter snow, or reduce paint chips if you drive on gravel.

Check the weight of the Grabber tires. I know they used to be very heavy tires compared to others. Not sure if that's the case now

Thank you very much. My parts guy at the dealership ordered trackbar knowing it would be best, TPM also ordered with tires, hope the reset can be done at dealership too, but will check, already a mess with stock tires in Wisconsin snowy days, not sure if anything will help unless I never turn the wheel. Painted flares don't help. Hate to have flaps on while off road but may help when on road. Thanks.

Yes, they are heavy, 10 ply nice for heavy loads, hope they will not rip off any suspension parts while articulating. Like the fact of actual 35", not 34.--, which most others are. I will let you know when you can say "told you so". I will be weighing stock tires and rims vs. Graber X3 Granite Alloy wheels, can only hope not more than 10 lbs. May have to do maintenance sooner or replace parts earlier. Thank you too for your wisdom, I need it. Where did you find those great seat belts in your picture?

The Rokblokz are removable with thumbscrews for summer or offroad, I only plan to run them in snowy season.

My bet is your dealer won't get the speedo 100% accurate anyway. It took me several tries with the Tazer comparing against an iPhone GPS speedometer app to tune to a specific tire. "35" is not 35... And my dealer balked at resetting TPMS threshold citing "liability" so I just got the Tazer to be done with it and have control of it myself.

Rokblokz mud flaps, best I have seen thanks. Thank you for the information. Nice they can be removed quickly. Crazy colors, black on white might be best for me, red was a second thought. I am a Sales guy at the dealership and Techs are more than descent to me with my crazy questions so if you have some questions let me know, I'll see what they think. Have a good mix of minds from Ford, FCA and general mechanical with knowledge. Interesting to get many side of a story.
