Bean, you would be surprised what you can do in an LR3. These guys are right. You can hang with the jeeps with just a little practice and experience. No need to turn around next time. Your local club is the best option to gain experience with a spotter. Have fun!
The GY MTR's with Kevlar have been great. I air them down to 20 lbs and they can climb just about anything plus I have a lot of confidence in not getting a flat with these tires. No issue with the C rating which I understand is ok for the LR3.
Hope you all have a great 4th!
I run 32" GY MR/R with kevlar 275-65-R18 and have no rubbing. I did tie up the wires with a zip tie as they rubbed prior to the lift with my old tires. The 285-60 will rub off road with no mod.
With the rod lift you are diving in the off road mode for the normal setting and in the extended mode for the off road setting. The kit with the spacers also includes an adjustable rod so you may gain an additional two inches more than a rod lift alone. Can't tell you much about how well that...
Thanks for sharing that mod. I am considering it for my trip to Moab. I live here in So. Cal. and would like to see that close up and in use on the trail.
Johnson Rods
So long as you get an alignment there is no issue with running the rods full time. My rods do not exceed any limits as some would like to suggest. The reason for the tire wear in this post was due to not doing an alignment after installation and with full time use. Myself and...

I did the same thing and traded in my 19" rims for 18's. I now run the Goodyear MT/R 275/65/R18. I have a Johnson Rod LR3 lift kit because these are 32 inch tires. Here is how they look: http: //www.johnsonrods.com Excellent tire!
MT/R with Kevlar
Because of the Kevlar the tires have a load capacity of 2,535 lbs per tire which is plenty sufficient for the LR3. That's over 10,000 lbs and the vehicle has a curb weight of 5,796 and a gross vehicle weight of 7,121.
I have been running the Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar. I have the 275/65/R18 which is a 32 inch tire and they work great. I highly recommend this tire! Here is a link to see them: http://www.johnsonrods.com I air them down to about 25 psi and they are incredible on rocks. The ride is also quieter...
It depends on what your needs are. If you need adjustability than an adjustable rod is for you. In that case Sasquatch makes a good rod. If you just want a lift and don't care about adjustment then Johnson Rods will get you what you need. It's a matter of preference and cost is a factor as...
