For 31" tyres the rocklobster you have is what you need , i was recently told the standard mounts are quieter than the tru bolts that may be worth a look
The only reason a jimny box is quieter is because of the chain drive

Dont have my lobster yet but from what i have read and been told its not that they are noisy just noiser than a stock box due to them being gears not a chain
Im running 30" tyres on my stock box and its ok but does need to be lower geared in my opinion

My Rocklobster is quiet, i'm running 235/75/15 and find it fine. Top end is slow at 55mph max, but with cage, bumpers ect i'm happy with that, fuel consumption is not great.

Seriously 55mph ???
That is putting me off a bit
Even on 30 x9.5 with the stock box i can squeez a scary 80 out of her
