Best tire I've found for an All Terrain.

Off topic, what do you all think of D.A.P.'s Big Blue springs with Pro-Comp shocks? (in reply to 05LandRover) Post #: 6

Just because they may have fit on an 04, with alot less mileage, they won't fit on your 99, trust me, I have a 99, the suspension settled by about 1.5"s by the time I added my Old Man Emu suspension. Your truck is just too low, you'll tear up your tires of road so just got for a lift, you can buy the OME coils and shocks along with a new steering stabilizer for around $650 then you'll be set. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.
