Here's the beginning of an addiction. My stock '06 Limited in early October 2010. (Well, it was not quite stock. I went with 245/70R17 GY SilentArmors.
Here is April 2011 with the Rocky Road lift (which went on in November 2010.
And May 2011 after the RR lift came off and the Superlift went on along with some 285/70R17 BFG MT KM2s.

Cool wheels.
I ordered Mickey Thompson Classic IIs originally, but there was rubbing so I switched to the (25mm) AEV Pintlers. I really like them so far except the valve stem guards don't come out far enough to completely protect the rigid TPMS stems.Originally Posted by cico7

Looks awesome! Can't wait to put a 4" on mine
I took it out this weekend for a test run. There were some interesting differences from the RR lift with 245/70R17 SAs. The added clearance is very nice obviously. With the big Mud Terrains though powering up those dunes was not to be done as I couldn't keep the rpms up. Maybe it's just technique. Not a big problem as they did great at everything else I tried.

Sweet photos bro. Are you saying you didn't have enough power to get up the canyon. Were you in 4LO? Not sure I understand with the 5.7L you should have plenty of power.
wow... freaking wow man, i love your XK!!
How is the clearance when you're flexing with those 285/70/17s? Any rubbing or did you do some pinch weld mods? I know guys run them with the 2" spacers, but i was planning on getting 265/70/17's when i put on my SL (but i want to run the Mickey Thompson ATZs which usually run "larger" than advertised).
When you say you couldn't keep the rpms up, I assume you had the traction control turned off ?

It was a 80-foot sand dune that I couldn't get up, not the gully in the photo.
