'tis true.
I run E rated tires on my work truck and it weighs 10,000# before I hitch up the travel trailer. No problems, as long as I keep 80# of air in them.
Great lists - thanks!

Mr. Know it all. Aka "OP"
Ok, so my mom bought me my first vehicle (a 3rd gen T4R) unfortunately instead of the Jeep I planned on naming Yota-killer. But hell....it's free so whatever - screw her.
How big can I go on tires without suspension mods since I'm going for aesthetics and I've already allotted my birthday & gramma's x-mas money for wicked-cool. Bad ass interior, led mood-lighting and a touch screen system with hard core tunes bangin gansta thug bass? You front like you know it all yet i would bet my half-sister's alleged virginty you ain't even down with my homies at "worldstar"

Any suggestions on endlinks? Are MOOG acceptable vs OEM?
Trying to replace the bushings/end links front and rear and having a hard time finding replacements. ES offers greasable front swaybar bushings, is that really needed over non greasable?

I have these for the rear and they are really beefy: Amazon.com: ACDelco 46G0453A Advantage Rear Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link Kit: Automotive
Here are the same brand front ones. I have no experience with them, but they are a little cheaper than the moog ones Amazon.com: ACDelco 46G20513A Advantage Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link Kit: Automotive
I have front and rear Prothane bushings (similar to ES) and they made a huge difference in handling. There is so much less body roll and they were well worth the extra money.

My Cooper discoverers A/Ts are Standard Load, and really a great tire for the price. I went from Cooper Discoverer E Load H/Ts, to the SL load A/Ts, in the same size, and the ride is certainly better even though the tread is more aggressive. A stock weighted 3rd gen with E load tires is a wooden roller coaster

if you look at the OP this post tells you nothing other than to replace wear and tear parts. There is a sticky that's better suited for info on lift crap.

This is just an "ingredients list", if you will, for what parts are needed for each specific style of build. I believe, that like any upgrade, you should use all resources available to you, to make the the best decision.
