How is the ride quality with a load E tire? Is it much harsher?

Hi do you have more pics can show also confirming you have 275/70/18. I'm thinking of going this size in the Recon Grappler? It should be a bit taller and wider than stock. I've seen some pics of others running 265/70/18 Ridge Grapplers that look the same as yours but likely just picture angle.
Found these posted on FB..
Stock suspension 1958, with nitto 35x11.5x18 trail grapplers along with icon recon wheels in a plus 40 offset. Bumper cut for clearance and looks. This is the owner of Dissent Offroad, so also mentions he scanned the body for bumpers and sliders.

This size is what I'm thinking as well, if they don't rub at full turn or at full flex with the stabilizer bar disconnected.
I have an appt to install Toytec 1.5" leveling kit and throwing on some 285/70r18's (34"). Will post pics when its done.
So, just the front spacer, right?
If you do replace your tires to 275/60 R20 on the stock 20" LC wheel can you kindly post a photo. I think that there are many of us who automatically got optioned in with this wheel along with the premium package when securing the LC trim. Like you we would hate to discard a brand new 20" wheel that we just paid for, and maybe down the road swap them out for an 18" wheel.
Front leveling kit may help fit of taller tires , not sure it will help the width issue.
Everything ic checked the least amount of clearance is between upper A arm and tire 3/4 inch on stock Michelin 265/70-18 .
I think to have enough room for articulation and mud build up I will need new wheels with more offset to clear inside not just diameter issues

Looks great! I'm hoping that Discount Tire will install the Wildpeak A/T4Ws on my stock 7" inch wheels tomorrow. Did you hear that anything using over 265 was a problem on that 1958 wheel? The original question on this thread was about the 1958, but I've noticed most of the examples are for the FE.

Looks great. How's the ride with the new KO3s?
Looks great, I have the same trim and am considering the KO3's as well. Looks like a SW view of Mt Adams in the background?
Load E I would presume? How does it feel? More stiff or not too bad?
