do they run them off road, where we go swimming at we have to go down a pretty step hill thats muddy most of the time with my old michleins xpc's i had not problems now i have to walk down thier becouse thetreads cloge as soon as you get in the mud and one day i had my lowboy parked inmy paster and it was in the grass i just loaded the trackter upafter a good rain and itjustsliddon topof the wet grass wouldnever bite down andgrabe.I foundSome Maxis mud tiresthat are 31'sfor the 18's, "Discomike how much of a liftdo you think i need torun the 31's"and as soon as these are gonethat is what iam going to go with. Now if your going to stay on the highway or just a sandy road get the nittos nopoblem realy good on the beachbut they do not need to sayA/T on them. And pluse i can never get them to stay balanced. pro ofter the 7th time i stop trying.

I am running 265/75/16 on my 99 D2, which are 31.9"s tall. On my truck I am runing just short of a 3" lift and know that a 2" will work just fine, like the OME front coils# 751 and the rear #762 coils.
