No issues I have it packed with a bunch of weight. Portable winch, tools , spare, camping stuff exc... and feels fine.

Yes but it is a really tight fit. Almost to the point that it’s a pain in the ass to remove.

Question: would I be ok if I stacked a RC spacer lift WITH Bilstein 5100 shocks and struts with OME springs?

No idea I would check the forums Commander forums a lot of people have different combos.

I have a 2" lift on my 06 Commander and currently have stock tires: 245...lol

I cannot afford a whole set of brand new tires so I've been scouring the web for a few days. Found a good deal on separate sets of tires...

1) Wrangler SR-A's with only 500 miles $250 255/75/17
2) 265/70r17 Dunlop AT20's, 5k miles, $300 (no rims)
3) Cooper Discoverer A/T 3, 7k miles, $350 265/70/17
4) Bridgestone Dueler AT, 200 Miles, $400 (JK Sahara rims) 32's
5) Yokohama Geolander AT-S, 10k miles, $375 265/70/17

I know it's a lot of options...lol...but with these options, which would be the best choice? I should note the Commander is not driven that often, probably 500 miles a month, if that, and will do a fair mix of on/off road.

Any advice would be GREAT!

Thank you

I have a set of 245/75/17 all five with rims and pressure sensors only 400 miles on them. For $550 ko2’s the rubber alone I spent 1200 for.

I have been eyeing those for some time. Kind of looking for one that needs some TLC. My first order of business would be to drop a solid front axle in the front and fab up a long arm setup, most likely a D44 front and D60 in the rear.

Nice! I'm trying to go with bigger tires. I currently have on some really worn down 285's but I don't like the way it feels when I drive, and not just because they're warn, so I've been considering 255/75 or 265/70.
