New treads - BFG AT KO2
I am running the OME 1-1/2" to 2" suspension as well.
I had balancing problems with the first pair of KO2's on my F-250. They are just outside the recommended tire size for the rim. Had to have them rebalanced twice over three plus years. Ended up replacing them at around 70,000 miles even though they still had some tread life left. I have not had the same issue on the Rover, or the next set of KO2's that I put on the F-250. Tire shop said rotating them more frequently could have helped that. I don't know enough about tires to confirm of deny that.
I like my KO2s (275/65R18) on my Hurricanes for their dry offroad performance.
However, I have had issues with KO2s running out of balance (compared to my past experience of Duratracs and Open Country). I have spoken to a number of tire shops. They confirmed KO2 are sometimes harder to keep properly balanced compared to other brands. Perhaps they are trying to sell new tires to me.
I have had to buy a couple of new KO2s to replace two year old KO2s to eliminate severe balancing issues (after numerous attempts by different tire shops and vaiorus wheel balancing methods).
Anyone have issues with KO2 balancing?

Ditto. I'm ~40k miles on mine and they have never needed to be rebalanced. I do rotate them including the spare every 6,000 miles.
Funny. I've had AT's on my F-250 for over 10 year now, on my previous F-150 for 5 years. and the Discovery for almost 5 years. Never hydroplaned in either vehicle one that time I can remember. Best wet traction tire I've ever had on any truck I've ever owned, and I've been driving trucks for over 30 years. Replaced Goodyear, Firestone, and Bridgestone on those three trucks, and there was no comparison. I won't put anything else on my trucks.
