    ^^^ post edited. Ended up having to trim the rear flares even with the axle relocate plates. Tires are just a hair too big to fit in there when super stuffed.

    I don't remember the exact specs, but it's the OME lift from last year's group buy. Designed to be about 2.5 inches lift once it's settled in. I'm running standard springs and leaf pack.

    There's a little of both going on...some slope and some rake. I'm pleased with how it turned out. Thanks!

    Sadly, my incredible KM2's have come to an end, and I ordered ST Maxx for this cross-country journey. Guy told me they're phasing these out, but for what neither of us know. Nor the Cooper rep. Anyone know?

    I'm guessing this size will be harder and harder to find in the future.

    I'm personally planning to change my rims to 17s and go with 34x10.5r17 BFG KO2s. Those will be a lot easier to find and available for years to come.

    Why did you go away from the KM2s?

    @Watt maker Glad to hear you like them. They seem very popular with this page. Feels weird Cooper would stop making them - maybe it's just a redesign, if anything. They're definitely hard to find around the country.

    @ionyota KM2's are exceptional tires. I can drive over virtually any terrain without fear of popping one. The main reason I'm switching is due to driving all over the country this year, and probably encountering more rain than CA - figured Cooper will be slightly friendlier to mpg's & road traction. I wouldn't want to waste prime rubber of BFGs on a lengthy road trip. If I was already in CA needing new tires I'd get the KM2's again.

    @lpfe42 From CA to MA (keep in mind I hit the skinny pedal at moments, and drafted trucks other times) I averaged 17.02mpg. Usually get from 15-18mpg with these tires and all the weight this truck has.
