@@MiketheBIC Thank you. I was leaning towards the Michellin Defender LTX M/S2 but I had Falken Wildpeak AT3 in my previous car and they were great but for me it dropped around 2-3 mpg. I currently have the Premier LTX in my Jeep WK2 but snow performance was very poor. I kinda test it two days ago with the snow we had and it is time to change tires.

One thing about the ride on these trucks is they are built to be loaded, so when empty the ride will feel bouncy, especially with those leaf springs. Maybe load it down and see how it feels. I bet it will ride and brake a lot smoother, it might break it in better as well.

DO NOT get the Rough Country kit that comes with the N3 Shocks and struts (SKU#91430). Get the plain spacer kit (SKU#60300)! I installed the shock/strut kit on my 2016 GC Limited, and those struts and shocks are junk. I just bought a 2021 Limited X, and I installed the plain spacer kit. Way cheaper, and no shock, strut, or spring issues. Rough Country shocks are not as good as they were 25 years ago. They are junk.
