Default New tires! BFG KO2 285 65 18

Bit the bullet and got the ko2s. It's a stock 2013 XLT SCREW 4x4 ecoboost.
I love the look since I came from the stock Goodyear wranglers. MPG is down about 1 MPG. Great traction on the one dirt road I was on. Ordered a 1.5 inch level from Autospring so hopefully that will look good. What do yall think?

Looks good!

If you go down gravel roads or driveways, make sure to take her easy once you get back on pavement until all the rocks clean out. You'll be chucking them for about an 1/8- 1/4 mile.

Looks great Nate!

Any rubbing issues with the stock ride height?

I think a level would look good!

Thanks! Yeah can't wait to put the 1.5 AS level on it! No rubbing issues. Does make a slight sound when I have the wheels turned all the way in either direction. May or may not be rubbing.

The tire guy said I gained 1/2 an inch on the bottom and 1/2 on top for a total of about an inch. It's not really noticeable to me when driving

Looks great, I like that you put the white letters out. I have decided for this tire on the same wheel on mine this summer. This size equals out to a 33 right?
