You're not pewter and it's too much bumper for you.

Looks good. I have them on my HD in 35x14.5x16 and they balanced easilly for a big tire. About 2.5 oz per wheel. Noise isnt as bad as the MTR's I had before. Maybe its just me

I haven't had a chance to get the h.d. Fabtech parts installed, but I did crank the torsion bars to level the truck and eliminate the rubbing. I'm calling 4WP tomorrow to set up an appt next week for the install and alignment. I've only done some really mild stuff on hard ground to see if there's enough clearance up front, and all seems to be okay.

What does your schedule look like over the weekend?

[TXSUT]

Thanks for the compliments! Phil did a good job of summing up the ride and life characteristics. I have to say though, that the noise level is pretty bad, especially if you're not used to running some sort of mud tire on the street.

VT, I'll try to take another pic showing how much the tires stick out, which is roughly three inches when measured at top-dead-center of the fender flare, and roughly 5" past the bottom rear edge of the fender flares. Yes, a damp road trashes the truck. Time for extended flares.

how are they holding up TXSUT?

VT - out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

With about 6,000 miles on 'em, they're wearing pretty well, but I'm overdue on rotating them.

MM, no lift, but I've been giving it some serious consideration.

[TXSUT]

I'd also like to add that if I was a serious off-roader, I'd recommend a 2 to 4 inch lift kit if running 37x13.5 tires on 10 inch wheels. Just my opinion.

[Bill Kervaski]

General question to anyone - compared to lets say the OEM tires, how much life can you get out of tires like the ones in this posts pic?

I don't believe that my Fabtech steering kit did anything to affect tire clearance.

Good stuff, Pete. Thanks!

[VTSTOMPER]

Nice Pete! It looks pretty damn mean I'd say!

It helps if you put pants on.

It looks really nice. Mean looking tires, are they loud on the road?

Edit- read your post on the volume- I think it's pretty bad a$$ when you hear them coming. Anyway, they are nice.

[kacyk]

Very nice combo! Those Mud Grapplers look great! Still the best looking tred IMHO but the noise! I switched over to the Toyo MT's but I do miss the look of those claws!

I'm sorry, but isn't that going to look kind of funny with the front end raised?

can you post a pic after you get everything settled? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Would be happy to post a pic next week.

Like Phil, the front of my truck was roughly 2 inches lower in the front. Now, with 7 turns of the torsion bar adjustment bolts, it sits almost level. By my rough measurements, it's still just a tiny bit lower in the front.

[TXSUT]

Thanks.

A friend of mine at Discount Tire did the balancing, and didn't have any trouble at all.
