Been wanting to make it to Moab since I was a kid. Finally had the time and opportunity! What a beautiful place!! Met some really nice Jeep families and had some beautiful trail time.
Fox 2.0s were good for about 30k miles. Rear shock blew a seal. I suspect winter salt and grime did that one in based on appearance when it let go. Replaced with Bilsteins. Ride quality took a hit with that swap. Fox 2.0s going in for a refresh this summer. They were very well tuned for the lift...
The sidewall ply count was definitely a factor. PSI on road for the KM2s was usually happy around 26 for tread to print evenly. Off road they were happy around 10 psi.
The Falkens don't print evenly on pavement until down around 20 psi. Around 15 psi they are low enough to absorb some road...
Bfgs were definitely smaller. I only share the size for reference to which tires I installed. I have had the same experience with all my bfgs on other vehicles (bronco/truck/cj). Always smaller than advertised. Worn down too. Less rubber… less mass. I think .75” shorter (diameter) if my memory...
Hoping to build one this week before trip to Moab. 2dr JK with backseat and rear seat belts removed.
I’ll try to post some pics.
Using Superstrut, plywood, and Bedrug material. Platform will be primarily for dog. Camping gear underneath.
I went from 35/1250 KM2s to 35/1250 Falken Wildpeaks after moving from SoCal to South Dakota. Absolutely loved my KM2s but the KM2s were basically not safe to drive on the highway in the winter. Slick as ice skates. The Falkens are manageable… slightly better but still a no-go in severe winter...
