Got my lift installed last night. Complete pain given all of my suspension components were original. Installed to find the front sat 4.5inches higher than it was... And the rear was sitting 3 inches taller. Hit a few bumps firmly and it leveled out some... (though honestly the front still looks a little high.
Headed off to the local tire place this morning and had them install 5 mastercraft courser mts. A bf goodrich clone, but a good one. Went with 31x10.5 as they run a little small, and would be fitted on an eight inch wheel. 41lbs a tire... About average for a 31 if not a little lite.
Looks okay, just rubbed a lot at that point. Gotta order two solid front caps to cover my auto hubs, ordered open caps for the manuals that I haven't bought yet.
Have to do more trimming and then install the fender flares, if not it'll look like this more often than not...
Actually wasn't mud riding, a simple dirt road after an inch of rain.
Power seems great... Not sure what all the fuss is about, this thing is probably faster than my 05 xb was brand new.
Checking mileage now, willing to bet I won't average the 27-29 I was getting.
