you can use the stock wheel if you are doing a a body lift, if you are going with a suspension lift then you will have to get new wheels.

However id recommend you change the wheels anyway.

Top MT's on the market
1. BFG KM2
2. Toyo MT
3. Procomp MT
4. Procomp Extreme MT
5. Mickey Thompson MTZ
6. Cooper STT
7. Maxxis Buckshot MT
8. Hanook Dynapro MT
9. Super Swamper Irok Radials
10. Procomp Xterrains
11. Mickey Thomspon Baja Claws
12. Ground Hawg Radial

SKIP A FEW

50. Nitto Mud Grapplers

I would look at the KM2's Toyo's and MTZ's.

If you decide to go with the Toyo's check out treadepot.com

Not Nitto just Mud Graps, Terra Graps are a darn good tire.

They wear fast... and one they start the middle wears faster and looks bald (no matter what PSI you run them at)

You only get 30k-ish ok of a set.

They really arent that great offroad

IMPOSSIBLE to keep balanced

Loud (the only thing that really doesnt bother me)

In some cases they will start to Chunk apart (if offroaded regularly)

My Buddy bought some for his F350 because he thought they looked "cool" after 15k they didnt look "cool" anymore. When he first got them we were on our way to a little mud hole out in Seffner florida and he threw a wheel weight (geuss where it landed... my windshield after a few bounces)

Id run a set of BIAS ply Super Swampers before touching a set of Nitto Mud Grapplers.

Ive had friends and family loose money buying these tires because they look "cool" and they think they will last... they just dont.


Im done ranting!

Prepare to spend some $$ on the tires, and buy the best you can afford in the size you need.

With a body lift and cranked torsion bars, you SHOULD be able to clear 35x12.50/16s on 8" rims no problem.

I would go with the BFG MT KM/2, or Maxxis Bighorn / Summit Mud Dawg. The BFG is a great tire, and from what I am seeing in the 4x4 club, the Bighorn / Mud Dawg (same tire, different branding) peform up to par with the now replace Mud Terrain KM.

Sure the Maxxis / Summit tire isn't some big shot name everyone will recognize off hand. But would you rather show off, or have tires that work like they are supposed to?

And yeah I know that is a trick question. We all want to show off, at least a little bit...
