35's with the Eibach 2.5" lift...

[TCMColorado]

The point is that taller springs only do not constitute a lift. You need longer shocks and bump stop/jounce stop extensions to accompany the springs. Then you will have the usual benefits provided by a lift. Springs alone do nothing to increase tire clearance because the suspension can still compress to the OEM location of the bump stops. Is there any aftermarket company currently selling a complete lift with springs, longer shocks and bump stop extensions? ARB/Old Man Emu must have something in the pipeline.

I think the look is first and foremost to most folks.

Is there a tire size between the stock size and 35"?

Lots of tires fall between the stock 31.5" (32") and a 35", lots of widths as well

Thought I would share a picture of my mall crawler with Eibach springs and 35's.

Do tell..what is that tire/wheel combo

I had the wheels made, they are forged 17x9 ET0 beadlocks. Sorry there are none for purchase at this time. The tires are Goodyear Boulder MT's 35x12.5. I also added Apex valve steams and Autel sensors.

I just lifted mine with the Eibach lift, New 17" Reika bronze wheels, and Toyo AT3's - 285 75 17. No rubbing. I also added a 5th tire to the spare tire carrier. The door still opens fine with only about 1/4" to spare. The backup camera is slightly blocked with the larger tire, but not too bad. These are 33.9" OD x 11.3" wide. View attachment 7852355

Looks amazing!

How are the Autel sensors working out for you? If good can you confirm which sensors and reader, thank you vm

I'm running 285/70/17 BFG KM3's - almost a 33" tyre (32.71 I think). No lift and no problems articulation/rear door mount.

Autel sensors work great once you figure them out. I used Autel MX 2 in 1 sensors from Amazon. They work but they forgot to send screws for attaching valve steams. Picked up some stainless screws at the hardware store(I don’t recall the specs on screws).
The programmer was harder to figure out. Based on information on this forum I ordered a new Autel Maxi TPMS TS508WF. This unit DOES NOT WORK at this time. I started a support case with Autel and they told me I must clone the sensors and the new units no longer have that function. Autel’s official recommendation was to buy an older unit. So I ordered a used Maxi TPMS TS408 from eBay. After a software update Ineos is a selectable option and I can clone sensors easily. Takes less than 5 minutes for all 5 tpms sensors. Pictures are of what I ordered and do work.

So the Autel sensors replace the factory TPMS sensors? What is the advantage with the swap? (This is clearly uncharted territory for me). Thanks!

The grenadier requires the factory computer to relearn sensors. Meaning if you rotate your tires or in my case have two sets of wheels you will need to see your dealer to make the system work. I live 2 hours from the dealer. With this setup I can do it myself in minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to relay that. Very much appreciated. I was hanging on to make an Autel purchase as was not convinced would work as nobody seemed to have gone through the process. You are a pathfinder!

Just ordered one off ebay and 5 sensors from internet. If works will add a further 5 sensors to the original wheels and tyres.

I feel zero difference in gearing/get up & go. I still don't like the way it feels going down the highway at speeds over 60/65mph though.

Get the dealer to check that the camber, caster and toe are all in spec and that everything is also torqued to spec. This has fixed my wandering steering on the highway.

These are the latest pics of the Eibach 2.5 lift with the BFGoodrich mud 35’s. Took it for extensive test drive at speeds over 80 mph. It actually drives and handles better than before.

Which side steps are those - they look awesome? Link pretty please.

I will also be swapping original sensors for Autel this winter when I reinstall original wheels and winter tires.

Hello, May I ask what brand these wheels are and how to order them? Thank you.
