Any loss in mpg? Wind noise? Does it interfere with sunroof?
Thanks.

Assuming that you're talking about a Michelin LTX M/S, you're talking about two very different tires here. One is a dedicated road tire, the other is an All Terrain. They're not even close to the same type of tire so they're going to meet different criteria and as such perform very differently.

A better comparison would be the Michelin ATX to the BFG KO2, but they're still very different tires.

Agree. They are different purpose, this is why I got KO2. I still was nicely surprised how good on the pavement KO2 are. They feel the same as Micheline street tires - quiet, soft, grip. All that with benefits of A/T performance. The wet pavement grip is the the only drawback I noticed after switching.

This was the firts time I used BFG when I dumped stock Duelers (here comes the vomit sound). I was so pleased with KO2 that I switched my Tacoma from Michelin LTX to KO2. Did not regret even for a moment. It's a pitty BFG don't make all sizes - I'd put KO2 on my wife's Nissan Versa Note :)
 
Went to take some of the first post-lift pics on lunch and hit the car wash real quick. 10 mins later, it's snowing. Sorry Chicago - probably my fault.

I put on the Spidertrax 1.25" spacers during the lunch break today. Gonna get the new 255/80's on with the Daystar 2.5/1.5 this weekend. Cannot wait

How much lift did those 302's net you? And on what suspension?

The approximate inch measurements are from the ground, up the center line of the wheel to the bottom edge of the fender:

Before:
front - 35 5/8 (with Bilstein's set to .85)
rear - 36 3/4

After:
front - 37.5 (Bilstein's back to 0)
rear - 38 5/8

Awesome thanks for the measurements!

Ordered Rago Fabrications Modular Factor roof rack support system. It was a garage sale product, so I got it at a hefty discount.

Anyone here have it installed?
