33x12.50x15 Cooper discoverer stt. I absoutly love em. Havent had them in rocks yet the they grab good in the mud and do really well in clay. Even at 25psi they flex alot.

I had the rough country. But i got the one with the LCA's. Either spend the extra cash on those or get a set of adjustable lowers. You're gona want em eventhally.

I am still learning all of this. What are the benefits of having the LCA's? I mean with a 3 inch lift what are the benefits of adjustable LCS's why not just use the stock ones?

Adjustable ones let you dial in your caster. You can run it with the stock lca's but your gona want aftermarket lca's. And of course, adjustable lca's are better than fixed.

So let me make sure I understand that the caster angle is just the angle of where the lca mounts. How does that make the after market any better than the stock? I understand the benefit to adjustable, but not to.a fixed aftermarket lca setup. Are they longer?

Basically caster is the rotational angle of your knuckles relative to the ground. Do a google search. Google will explain it better than me. And adjustable is better because every jeep is different. The companies that make the fixed lca's can get your caster close to what it should be, the they cant get it exact because every jeep is different.

So I just picked up a roof rack for this one and plan on lifting it this winter. Here's a pic of the new roof rack.
