Ko2s are one of the best all terrains on the market. They don't do well in the mud because, well their not a mud tire haha. But for an all around tire they are great

I have 31 inch ko2s and they seem like they are wearing fast... Besides that I love them off-roading

After lifting my XJ 2 inches I'm experiencing a vibration. Its not death wobble. It starts vibrating between 50 and 56 miles per hour

I found that too, kinda just thought maybe it was because i got them used and they were maybe old? Got them in February with about 80% tread from an actual tire shop and am looking at getting new tires just before winter.

Also make sure you have both front and back tires balanced on a high speed machine, not just the cheap "balance" job some shops give. I found that took away my 50-60mph shimmy.

The tires were balanced at my shop with a road force balance machine.

Need to order longer brake lines. Currently looking at the RC ss ones that will be about $80 for all 3. Any other options for a 5ish" lift? Not sure if the TJ lines would cut it at that point or not

Do not get those rc ones. They are known to leak and bust

Really? I haven't read that in the past threads I've looked through. I'm more concidering YJ brake lines now but i cant find the specific line anywhere. Whenever i look them up on O'Rileys or Autozone it just comes up with the full brake system

Yeah I worked at a tire shop up until may this year. We did alot of stuff besides tires though. People would come in with rc brake lines that would just leak like a river and a few busted causing people to lose braking. Scary

The measurements that actually matter are the bolt pattern (Do they fit on your lug nuts?) and the backspacing (How far do they go in from the mounting surface?)
