I have Destination M/Ts on the MJ now, and I love them. I got them used from another member, and dukie564 also likes them. My only complaint about going to a bigger size will be losing these. When I buy 35s, I'm probably getting Treadwright Guard Dogs.
Aight thanks. How much did u pay the other member for used Dest MTs?

$300 for a set of four, but they can be had cheaper. We worked out a deal where I was willing to pay a little more.

See if you can find another tire that is the same size as the rest for cheep on craigslist. Use it as a spare until you get the money to buy new tires.

He wants DTs, but ATs are cheaper.

The extra 10 bucks or so for duratracs is well worth it for how much better they are compared to the bfg.

If you're worried about price, get Treadwrights. Otherwise, I still say save up and buy what you want.

Default buying RC 3" kit, some advice needed please

Gonna buy the RC 3" kit series II, getting the AAL kit for now, will do full packs later. Advise I need is shall I do the sway bar bracket that comes with it or not (read mixed reviews from people who have done it) and also should I get an adjustable track bar? (Read mixed reviews on this also) as far as driveline vibes and such, I have that figured out. I have researched these subjects on here quite a bit, and I think it comes down to each individual Cherokee, but I wanted to hear from you guys and hopefully help some people out by starting a thread about one of the most purchased 3" kits out there. Hopefully this helps me and future lifters out,
Thanks!
Justin.
