Rides nice, no complaints.
I also had the RC kit installed. LT245/70R17 BFG KO’s installed. Happy with the ride. Lost 2-3 mpg in town. Speedo is off about 2mph. All in all happy with the look and ride.
im about to do the same thing but im worried because a lot of guys say it will rub i also have the 1.5 RC kit on my badlands do the rub in any way? sharp u turns? my offroad is on sand when i go to the beach
LOVE the RC kit. Firm (not "stiff") ride, feels more "planted". I never noticed I had a little body roll until I installed this kit and DIDN"T have it anymore! Went with MT Baja Boss tires on Alp wheels. No rubbing on rutty trails I've had her on thusfar
245/65/17s on 17.5 Alp Wheels

That's good news. My next tire will be 235/70/R17's. I have a 1-1/2" lift.
I put bigger K02's on my Jeep LIberty, and I did get a little rub on a full turn of the steering wheel. That is a rare event, but I kept looking to see if it was an issue. It was not. Heavier tires cost you in gas mileage, but more rubber between you and the road make for a softer ride on rough roads.
Recently heard another area besides lack of education and crime where NM ranks number one. We have the worst roads in the country, so I'm always driving on rough roads.

That statement (bad roads) leads me to believe you haven't been to Buffalo NY LOL. A couple of years ago, they installed "speed humps" on most of the side streets many, leading up to and followed by potholes! I attribute that as "blue-city" thinking

I live in a "blue city" in a "blue state", and they put in speed bumps on hundreds of streets.
On my nearest main street, they put an obstruction in the middle of the road for the two pedriations that cross there every year. They can't keep the warning signs up because at certain times of the year people are driving directly into the sun. I saw one poor girl who hit it and broke both wheels on one side and of course flattened the tires. I told her to file a claim with the city and that she would win, because the signs had been knocked down for months.
