Looks excellent. So your only running 2" of lift? Did you just lift the front 2" or the rear also. I have 2" daystars on my truck just to level it out. Also did you cut the fenders any? My 35s rub the back of the fender barely when I'm at full lock. Truck looks good!

I know a few other people running these same tires, As far as I know there the only tire to get 100,000 km's or more. Then they can still be re-grooved to get another 30,000km.
These tires are alot better than any other mud tire I've tired. Some of the super swamper stuff might be better in the mud, but they burn up on the hiway.

what brand of flares?
you think an aftermarket glass fender would clear without the 2" lift up front?
my next truck is going to be a 2nd gen 4x4... I want the most tire with the least lift, and 2" leveling kits scare me due to death wobble... not affraid of hacking the fenders for clearance. not a huge fan of fender flares... I know there isn't a lot of room at the rear of the front fender for trimming... maybe longer control arms and a custom front bumper that doesn't wrap around so far?

Not sure what your asking about the glass fender?

asking if an aftermarket fender would prevent the need for flares or lift...
my buddy's running 37.5's on stock alloys on his '02... love the look of the stock wheels... not sure if he's rubbing the arms on turns or not... he does have a 4.5" Skyjacker setup though. (your truck looks better obviously )
thanks for the help, I've never had a 4x4 dodge... not sure what does and doesn't work... on older square bodied stuff, hacking the fenders always worked, but there's only so much you can trim on these trucks... that's why I was wondering if longer control arms would allow more tire w/ less lift...
thanks again,
Forrest

i want to find some of those tires. what gear ratio are you running? the michelin site says those tires have a top speed of almost 65 mph. i guess they build up too much heat. they'd be a good tire for around the country. but they don't rub at all? i need to look into these. got any other pics?

I will try to take some more pics. And no rubbing at all.

Here is the site I first saw these tires. There are some places that have hundreds of these tires used. I think I've even seen some on Ebay.

those tires would probably work good on the factory chrome 16x6.5's i have laying around. there is a miltary surplus place around here and he has everything from military tri axle vehicles to jeeps and who know what else. it's like a compound of stuff outside. seen tires there as i drove by. going to check it out later this week.
