Default Leveled.... Kind of

I Did the Bilstein shock leveling and did them all to the max, it seems to almost sit with a slight front rake now. I already had it aligned, while I did that I replaced all the control arms, links, axles, etc since it's got some miles on it and I was able to do it for reliability. Can I just do a eibach 1" rear block kit and be done with it? I went from 275/55/20s to 275/65/18s which I like allot better, I want to go taller on tires but I want to stay away from that Rubicon line where you jump from each tire weighing 40ish lbs to each tire being 50ish lbs. Or am I already at that line?

Planning to paint match the side chrome, handles and mirrors soon also.

Thank you, as far as tires should I just stick with the 275/65/18s and leave it instead of trying to get a slightly taller tire and having to go 265/70/18? More rubber on pavement is probably the go to huh?

I did notice those and I like them I might go with that, the difference between 65 and 70 is very small but in the big picture it does show a bit and it's more rubber between me and the road which usually leads to a better ride or at the least just better peace of mind. Thank you!

the sidewall aethestics of the G3's over your current set will be enough to improve the overall look IMO.

I did some now research into those and I really really like them I wonder how they kept the weight down so well

They are P Rated vs LT/E Rated reasoning for the lighter weight.

That's all I need but I saw the max psi was 44 I think the Wrangler at I have now are like 55psi and SL rated but 44 psi that isn't too bad right? I'm in AZ.

i would only be concerned if you tow relatively heavy on a regular basis. If it's strictly daily driving, you're good.
