Well duh. All terrains are a lot more appropriate for wet street pounding. Get them in rocks and see what goes further.

I ran 31" km2s on an 88 Xj and 35" km2s on my yota..
Both sets of tires were left behind compared to mickey Thompson mtzs

Iv had no issues with mine wearing nicely and pull like hell in the mud. I would be buying another set if they made them in a 36x12.5x15 but super swamper TSLs do come in that size so they will be my next tire.

I have a 2000 xj sport and looking to get a lift. im only 17 so im on a really tight budget. i found a 3 inch budget lift on amazon sold by fat bobs garage. It comes with front coil spring spacers which are 3 inches, 4 shocks, and rear add-a-leaf springs. Is this all I would need for a quick cheap lift? And also would I be able to keep my stock tires on for a while with this lift? I'll post a pic of the kit below.

My CV in the drive shaft is making a squeaky noise. I suppose it just eeds greased. It has a plug where the it looks like the grease fitting goes. I suppose I can take care of it. Not sure why I'm even mentioning it other than to say... I FINALLY GOT THE BEAST MOUNTED AFTER 2 MONTHS. hahaha

That may be a needle style fitting rather than a plug

Ah. It seems there was a reason for me to make that post. I was unaware of this type. I will investigate. Thanks.

save your pennies and go for a lift with full leaf packs, you'll thank me later for that. AAL kits fail quickly and you'll end up replacing them in a year or two.

Can an AAL even add 3" to match the front? That seems like a lot.
