I looked around for a long time, and went back/forth on doing LT275/65-20 or staying with stock size. Had pretty much decided to go with Nitto Terra Grapplers in the 275/65 size, then saw that my local Costco had BFG AT T/A K02s in the rack and they looked too good to pass up at the price. They were the 1st stock size LTs I'd come across and had good reviews so I bit.

I had also ordered the air suspension leveling links from Revel Performance awhile back and had been waiting to install until I replaced tires. Had never looked at the stock links before, so when I got the links in the mail (!) I was surprised at how small they were. After getting tires installed, I decided to go with a level initially to see how it looked and handled before going up any further. Here are some pics of the new tires before the level, in Offroad 2 setting, and then after the level. When I started, there was a 1 1/2 inch difference between front/rear, as measured from ground to wheel well opening (38 1/2 rear vs. 37 front). Now both front and rear are at 38 1/2. I am pleased, and was pleasantly surprised with how easily the leveling links were swapped-out - pop off / pop on.

I made a pretty good guess at the length of the links needed for leveling on the first try, and only had to make a minor 1-turn adjustment to driver side front after my first guess to get them all even.

Sorry about the pics - don't have time right now to figure out why they are not rotated correctly....

If you don't mind sharing, what did you pay for the KO2s?


LT 275/60-20s were $243.99 each, plus $15/tire for mount/balance/etc and $2.99 for the TPMS service pack. Compared to Discount Tire's price of $266 each (and they were special order at DT) I figured it was a pretty good price at Costco. Not all Costcos will stock these. I am not sure why they just happened to be in the rack when I was there. Costco.com has them listed, so I'm sure you could get them within a day or two by ordering online. They are also running a $50 off coupon on all BFG tires right now (when you buy 4).
