    Getting mine installed at Trail Jeeps here in Colorado on Wednesday! So excited. Ordered the BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2's, and the Hubcentric spacers as well all to be installed next week. The Toaster Jeep sticker I got in the mail yesterday is the cherry on top!

    Hey Guys,
    Since a few of you have been running the lifts and tires for a short time now, was wondering what differences your seeing compared to stock? Difference in speedo? MPG? performance?

    Our speedometer is about 2 MPH off. Running a larger and more aggressive mud terrain is going to have a lot more rolling resistance and for us, we saw about a 4 MPG drop. Performance is pretty much the same on pavement but the tires are a lot louder. Off road, there are significant gains in traction.

    Wheel spacers are necessary if you want to run bigger tires on factory wheels or aftermarket wheels with the same offset.

    What size ko2's are you looking at? The 225/65r17 size fits stock on my trailhawk, no lift, no spacers.

    I was thinking 225/65r17 after the daystar lift...that's why i'm questioning it. the trailhawk stock is 1" higher correct?

    I believe the trailhawk is .8" taller than the other models. I would say it would definitely fit with the lift without spacers, spacers would just pushow the wheels out for a wider stance. I love the k02s by the way, I've had them in dirt, mud, sand, snow etc and they have performed very well.

    Curious, Just bought your lift kit. On your lifted Renegade what size tires? Spacers? How thick? any rubbing of the tires?

    My speedo is off by about 1 - 2 mph, I've only noticed a small drop in MPG, and as WoL has said the mud tires are MUCH louder.
