Got the Nittos mounted 
The truck took a step down in the aggressive look today...I dont FULLY like it but I like it. Still has an aggressive stance although I wish it poked out another half inch in rear and like quarter inch in front.
I think the best way to describe Terra Grapplers on my truck is they look good and aggressive 20ft and closer. Getting back to 25ft the common person may think they are normal tires on a black rim. Up closer it's easy to see it is surely a wide tire at 12.24" and looks aggressive just from that. The ALL Terrain tread pattern helps and the minor sidewall design. I did opt to have the blades face out instead of the lightning bolts. Also you can see I got the front Mopar splash guards installed, will do rears tomm.
But it was a win today overall. As I crept out of the tire parking lot, took a left on a side street, then a right and came to a main road. A car was coming somewhat hot and it was that decisive moment you either decide to wait or jump out in front of them. I jumped...Totally 100% unintended the ass end flung out to the left, I over corrected and it swung to the right then I was able to get it straight. Totally didn't mean too but my first reaction was a smile and I literally said too myself, "Damn..." As in that was awesome and it was all worth it based on the immediate power felt.
I can also say numerous times driving on my way to sell the Magnum RT steps I was surprised at the low end torque I gained. I can notice it all through the RPM band but more so on the low end.
Another observation later this evening...My brother came over and hasn't seen my truck since the exhaust was down, basically most of my mods besides CAI. I warmed her up for 7-8 minutes the new headed to some not busy roads for another 3 minutes away. I gunned it a few times with him in the truck to try and show off but for some reason the truck wouldn't downshift and it really didn't feel powerful. Really anticlimactic and it happened the 4-5 times I gunned it. After turning around I put in manual but when I gunned it it honestly felt gutless. Anyone have any answers why this is? My best guess is the throttle response is inconsistent. I have mentioned this before after the Hemifever tune but have never gotten an answer. Anyone else feel this way on a 6 speed? Finally in 2nd going about 23-25mph I was able to give a couple revs that lunged the truck forward.
Oh and what is a good PSI to run the new tires at? They have a max of only 50psi, tire shop set them to 36-38 can't remember off top of my head. They look a little compressed and IMO seem like they need to go to 40.
