X2 on having the toe-in checked & adjusted. 99 times out of 100, rapid front tire wear is due to nothing more than the toe-in setting being off. Installing a suspension lift or spacers will cause the toe-in to be off enough to cause accelerated front tire wear.The Geezer Jeep: http://www.greentractortalk.com/jerryb/index.htm

Geebo,
Put a screw (only in about a 1/4 of in inch) or the like in both tires while they are pointing forward, use a measuring tape to measure distance from screw to screw, then roll the jeep back so the screw now is on the back side of the tires and measure again. This is a quick toe in check.
I also run the KM2 and find that the sidewalls are to soft to run low pressure, hence I do not like them. After 2 sidewall repairs I do not run less than 17 lbs of air off road.
Good luck,
