Goodyear never fails to deliver high-quality tires to its consumers; this variety in driving needs results in an inevitable comparison between different tire models produced by this tire company. One of these comparisons is the latest battle between Goodyear UltraTerrain vs Duratrac.

Hey Andy, thanks for the question and sorry for the delayed response.

I feel the most practical/functional lift kit and tire set up for the XJ are the BDS front coils and Old Man Emu springs in the back. 2-3" of lift with Pro Comp MX6 shocks, and Goodyear Duratrac 235/75/15 tires.

You’ll be able to tackle most trail challenges short of rock crawling or any of the more extreme stuff that require extensive modifications.

BDS also makes a complete suspension replacement kit that is pretty stellar but more expensive.

If you stay under 3" of lift you won’t have to worry about adding a slip yoke eliminator kit to the transfer case and drive shaft connection, nor will you have to mess with extending brake lines, fuel lines, or electrical wires, or order the special shocks for lifted trucks. There are other complicated and expensive modifications that are encouraged once you lift 3" or more and go with bigger tires.

There are certainly a lot of folks that lift their rigs without modifying everything else but they also break stuff more frequently, usually in less-than-convenient locations, and see increased wear and tear on components which all translates to spending more money on increasingly complicated systems…

Hope this helps.
