Certus what size 35's did you put on? Is that a 1 1/2 inch lift? Looks about same height as my 2000. What year is yours?

It's a 2nd Gen with a 3.5 Front/2.5 Rear lift. The tires are 35x12.50R17 Ironman All Country M/T's.
She also had new KYB strut assemblies on all four corners so there's zero sag.

That's one serious lift. Is their any rubbing? Or are you good?

There was the teeniest rub at the very very bottom of the front of the front fender well while turning only.
Didn't even have to trim, only file.

Like, maybe 2.5 inches up. A very minor rub.

So a 35x11.50 would have been the no rub ticket, just not quite so mean looking?

Possibly but I also have 3" spacers to compensate for loss of vehicle width from the lift.
Like I said, it was a minimal minimal rub that was filed (not trimmed) away.

Looks good. What color is your SUV? Looks similar to the Estate Green on my first edition.

We just put Goodyear Duratrac tires on ours.
Great tire but we live in a rural area and have gravel access roads and northern Alberta winters.

As a highway tire I like the Michelin LTX M&S, my son runs General Grabber AT's on his truck, nice tire as well.

I have had absolutely great tread life out of Michelin LTX M&S but I have had a few that were six or seven years old that started to dry rot and crack earlier than other brand tires.
