    Did you have any issues with installation for a rough country lift? How does it ride?

    Have you looked into a 33x 9 "pizza cutter" tire? I think they'd look great on that

    I have seen the pizza cutter tires but I like a wider tire but that’s just me.

    The ones on it now are a 33x12.5r15 15x10
