I know what you mean. Drives me crazy to hear people call any tire that say "MT" on it a mud tire.

You use s10 leafs in combination with your xj stock leaf pack to make whats called a "bastard pack". Still working out what order the pack will be in, but my PLANS are 3" from the pack and 1.5" from my shackles netting a total of 4.5".

And i'm gonna be using chevy 1500 lines on the front, and a YJ line on the back.

Truth be told, I only put about 5,000 miles on a vehicle a year. Most of my mileage is on the bike.

I guess the TSL's would wear like crap on the road?

I'm also considering the BFG KM2's and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's with kevlar.

You'll probably get 20-25k out of some TSL's (depending on which they are) more than likely.
