  • New AEV 2.5inch Dual Sport Lift is installed and the Falken Wildpeak AT3W Tires are Mounted. In this video, I breakdown the process, reveal the goods and give my first impressions. I'm already really happy with their on-road performance and can't wait to start testing them off-road.

    Congratulations. They all seemed to have been good choices.
    I HIGHLY recommend doing a chalk test now.

    Your Jeep is looking good Jared! I think you made good choices. I know Casey over at coyote Works is pleased with the same AEV on his Rubicon and I have been very happy with the Falkens on my 4Runner. They are quiet, great on wet pavement, dirt and rocks. Not so good in mud but then it's not a M/T tire. I'm still trying to decide on replacing them with the same or maybe the Toyo Open Country AT III when the time comes. Looking forward to the next report. Happy trails!

    • @BackroadExploration

      Thanks! So far I am really excited about both. I think the tires are going to be perfect for the type of terrain I cover. Next test is to see how things feel all loaded up. Have an adventure planned for next weekend.

    Hey Jared, how's it going?
    I was just re-watching this video.
    It's about time for your 1yr review...
    I'm finally pulling the trigger on the AEV 3" lift (now that I've slowly added the RTT, rack, awning, drawer system etc. we're starting to sag so I think 3" is required) and I need new tires.
    So just wondering if you still like your lift and tires? Any tips you'd offer a newbie?
    I've had the ridge grapplers but thought they wore down too fast. So thinking about going back to BFG or those Falkens that are so popular.
    Cheers
    Thanks for the info..
    P.s. what size we're your tires? Think I missed that. I'd like 35X12.5.

      I should have it ready in a month or so but here are my quick thoughts. Love the AEV lift. I agree the 3 inch or even the 4 is probably the best option with how much weight you are carrying. I think they might have an HD rear spring now as well. I’d consider it but I’d ask them how much load they think you should have to require it and see if you are in that range. I have never ran the BFgs but there reputation is well earned so you can’t go wrong there. I’ve loved the Falkens the only place I think they lack is in deep snow. Like most all terrains they just don’t have super big lugs to grab in deep snow. On hard packed snow and snow on the roads they are great but if you do deep snow wheeling I’d get something else. Wear has been great so far. I honestly can’t even tell they have worn at all. When I got mine the 35s were sold everywhere. Mine are the closest metric equivalent to 35s but are slightly smaller than 35s. I’d get the 35s if available.

      @@BackroadExploration Excellent. Good to hear. The 3" lift is supposed to handle 400 to 600 extra overlanding pounds, which is what I'm hauling so I think it's the right choice.
      I don't do much snow driving and Jeep here in St George has a buy 3 get 1 for a buck deal... If they have the Falkens available I think I'll get em. They look good, and your experience sounds good.
      We live/travel in our motorhome full time and tow the Jeep everywhere. I think towing it so many miles may put unusual stress on the tires too, not sure.
      Thanks for the update. Appreciate the advice.
      BTW, recently got a fridge. Went with the cheapo BougeRV 28qt. So far so good..
      Thanks again. Keep the vids coming.

    The true test for the tires and suspension will be when you're fully loaded up for the next adventure.

    Why didn't you go 35 36s? They would fit now

    • @BackroadExploration
      @BackroadExploration  3 года назад +1

      Unfortunately there were no 35s available. However I got the metric equivalent. Slightly smaller but plenty big enough. Rolled up next to my 35s they were bigger but the 35s were pretty worn. My guess is they are about a half inch smaller than the 35 inch Nitto Trail grapplers I was running before. Not likely to go above a 35 as it puts more and more wear on other components and are more than sufficient for the trails I am hitting. With it's current configuration the Jeep is more capable than I am as a driver.

      @@BackroadExploration I hear you but I'm with the understanding that I stock Jeep you can put 35s on by themselves, and the purpose of putting a lift on is to put taller tires on correct?

    • @BackroadExploration
      @BackroadExploration  3 года назад +1

      @@williamkennedy2069 The JL (Current version of the Wrangler) Can fit 35s with no issues stock. However, the JK (2008-2018) Cannot. Some guys stuff them in there but they rub. To fit 35s without rubbing on a JK you need to add a lift. If all you did was run around on the street you could get by but with off-roading, it does not work as well. I have enough space with these tires to go full articulation without any rubbing which is ideal.
