Mavis was cheaper for 265/75/17’s but now Im thinking of going even bigger, 285/70/17 but cant get Grabbers in that size so I was looking at Cooper Discoverer AT3’s.
Ive heard about possible balljoint issues with lift struts so now Im having second thoughts. Ive still got the originals at 123k.

lift struts are dumb. just get some OE replacement struts and do a leveling kit. you get the same ride as factory with a slight lift. its just a spacer that goes on top of the strut. real simple.
oh and capcrew i pm’d you prices, dunno if you got it or not.

Seems to me that a one piece unit would be better than spacers/

got some new tires put on. Not sure if I like how small they are (205/40 vs old 225/40). but, they were a good price.

Atleast it wasnt too bad to replace. 123k on the original one, just sucks that the rotor and pads were new in October and not at all worn.
