yeah, get some new meats, bet you could fit some 37's just fine, maybe even 38's
I just want some 37's in a better off road tire flavor.

^ "fit" and "run without continual breakage" are two different things...

that's why I wont go bigger than 33's on my Dana 35....
35's were the down fall to my D35. I never broke it on 33's. I do have to say that my 35's have never let me down and have always done well, even though they measure more like a 33. I would be happy (just a size thing) if I got a tire that measured 35" mounted.

your rig sure does look really good now! love the bumper and sliders
Thanks!
Hey Kyle, I may have missed it but what size coils are you running?
No coils, air shocks:icon_thumby:

It's looking good brother! oh yea, mines on the road again :)
Sweet, I will check it out!

you really need to check out the MTRs and Open Country MT's. The 35's that are on my truck are about 50% worn, and you can how big they are

IDK yet, really leaning towards some Swampers TSLs or something close, haven't spent a lot of time looking yet.

Wow, I'm an idiot lol. Good call. That may just be my next tire.

I went from a BFG m/t style tire to the SSR's and there's definitely a huge gain in offroad performance. I have some balancing issues however. Other than that they're an awesome time and seem to be wearing decent.

I bought 36x13.50 iroks new, HATED them, traded them for the 36x12.50 bias TSLS and LOVED them hands down. And even being Bias, they didn't ride all that bad.

Interco doesnt actually make the tires. The sub it out to other manufacturers. The main one was Denman tire. Denman tire went out of business a couple monthes ago. That is why there is a shortage on Intercos tires. Denman also made tires for Pitbull and thats why there was a shortage on them also.

Yup on the nose! I live by a denmen well ex denmen plant and when they were closing down they were blowing tires out cheap! Too bad i didnt have my truck back then.
