Had a set of Goodrich ATs on a Jeep Cherokee. They rode nice on the street and were mediocre in the slick stuff. Kept the Jeep for years and never wore them out. Not a bad tire at all.

Running 32x11.50x15 ProComp ATs on my truck now. With the 50k mile warranty and low price they're hard to beat. Load range C 2,500+ # @ 50 psi.
The tread makes tiny bit of road noise but it's not bad and they'll sling turf pretty good if you get in a wet yard with them :D

I hear the Goodrich ATs have a stronger sidewall. I dunno, but if you're into rock crawling they may be a better choice.

Never put blocks on the front axel. Its not safe and not a good idea. Do some researce on lift kits please.

Re: Check out my truck :)

i didn't put blocks on the front axle.. i have springs up front.. not leafs like the bigger fords... their like rubber spacers the same exact thing as what the company uses except a couple inches bigger.. it holds the spring and fits perfect in the spring perch.. i did research and asked many others on another forum.. sorry i should have been more specific at the beginning.. i just reread and it sounds bad lol


im changing this thread.. show me your ride!

Ok Here's one of many.

98 GMC K1500 SLT Trailmaster Conversion on a 6" Pro Comp Lift done the right way. Rides smooth as gravy & pulls the boat and whatever else I decide to hitch it up to, like stumps & broken down Fords ect. :D
