I love my KO2s stock size. They are LT tires with aggressive tread so you’re gonna loose a MPG or so and they aren’t as smooth as stock. But those Goodyear’s are absolute garbage. Got rid of them at 9000 miles. I wish I did it sooner.

Any thoughts on Ridge Grapplers vs Terra Grapplers?

Those are pretty big. My truck is 2wd, I wonder if they'll rub with just a level. Also Im planning on staying with stock rims.

My truck is 4wd with Bilstein 5100 at 2.1 and stock 20" wheels like you have. I think you would be ok with a 2"+ level. The 35x11.5x20 is about the same size as a 285/65/20 just fyi. For as aggressive tread pattern as they are they are about as smooth and quiet as you can get for a hybrid all terrain. Ive had Duratracs and KO2 and these have been the best so far in looks and road manners. Right now I have about 1,500 miles on them so only time and more miles will determine if that continues.

That sounds pretty badass. Mine is a 2wd though, also the front level is a spacer type. Would those factors affect what your saying? I was thinking about going 295/60/20 to be on the safe side but if I can fit 35x11.5x20 without rubbing...then why not lol

It's all in what you prefer. I mentioned the 295/60 since it's a 34" tire and in between stock and a 35. To me a 35" tire looks a bit stuffed with just a 2" level.....but that is just my opinion.

Your right about the 35 probably looking a bit stuffed with just a level. Think I'll go with 295. Thanks!

congrats on the truck. I agree on getting 295/60/20's They are not as common a tire size though so you will pay more for them

Thanks guys! I'll definitely be looking into tires asap. Anyone else having blue tooth issues? Calls are fine but when I'm playing music from my phone it can get a bit choppy at times.

I have a 2017 and it doesn’t want to skip songs and is very slow when it does skip a song I am using an iPhone 8.
