    Let me know how much flex you get and how those things ride. I have been looking at the RE lifts for some of my CJs but haven't had any experience with them.

    Also, if you do much rock crawling with it, those tires are killer when you turn them around backwards. I know some guys near here who even prefer them over Iroks or TSL's now that they have run them backwards.

    Just my .02
