i currently owna 2002 1500 4.7 4x4. it came with some sortof a lift on it. The shocks are Pro Comp so i am assume it is a lift fabricated by them, however i have no idea as to the actual size of this life, how can i find out? I have no problem clearing the 35x12.50x18 nitto mud grappplers that I bought for it. I also have acquired a set of 37x13.50x22 toyo AT's. I was considering putting them on my truck. I need to know what additional lift suspenison/body, that i will need to clear these tires? i was also wondering if the facorty axles are strong enough to stand up to this load, if not what do i need to do? What other mods if any are needed; gears, driveshaft, brakes???Should I even consider this set up or just sell them and try something else? HELP!!!!!???

 

If you are able to easily clear 35" then you should try and see if the 37" will fit without any more lift! I have 37x13.5R20 with only 5 1/2" lift. If they don't fit and you don't want to do any mods to the drive shaft or anything else for that matter you might want to consider a body lift. Your axles should be fine but you might want to consider some Motive 4:56 gears? Or you can stick with the 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers because they are a Kick @$$ tire!

your absolutley right i love the nittos, they are great. i would love to get some more but i am not sure of their availibility on a tire size for 22inch rims, do you know if they make such a tire?? I have looked into purchasing a body lift for my truck and it is considerably easier and cheaper than doing anything else. my only problem is that i do not know what size lift was on the truck when i bought it, i only know that its made by pro comp. I have heard some horror stories about 37's and 6+ suspensions lifts. i need to figure out what is on there already.

 

Kumho makes a Mud tire for 22's. They are $pendy but what tires for 22's aren't

KUMHO MT

If you are hunting for a mud terrain tire that is a decent compromise between extremes without spending a fortune, the Kumho Road Venture MT might be what you are looking for. Everyone we have talked to who has used this tire tells us that they were a bargain falling into the low 100 dollar range depending on the size and retailer, yet they perform better offroad than most people had expected. With a tread pattern remarkably similar to the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM, those who we have talked to say the perform about the same as the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM. Yet they typically fall within a far lower price range, in many cases HALF what the BFGs cost. For many of us who wheel on a budget, that is significant. Tire wear is decent on road and flex offroad is good when aired down. Sidewall protection could be better with a lack of sidewall lugs however those who we know that uses these have not had an issue with sidewall damage, at least not yet. We give this tire a thumbs up for value. If you need a decent Mud Terrain tire that won't break the budget, take a look at the Kumho Road Venture MT.

TOYO MT

Toyo recently introduced its newest tire, the Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain (M/T) radial. While this tire isn't the traditional hardcore rockcrawling or extreme mud tire; it will survive the toughest backcountry challenges and perform well. The targeted market for the Open Country is those who need a comfortable, quiet, well mannered daily driven Mud Terrain tire that works as a weekend warrior on moderate to tough terrain, tackling serious trails. To accommodate a wide range of buyers, the Open Country M/T was packed with technology to make it capable of handling severe heat and frequently changing loads. It has an aggressive tread for traction and good looks, deep siping and an open-shoulder design for improved grip, and tread-block stabilizers. The tire uses a three-ply polyester casing, two wide steel belts, and two spiral-wound nylon cap plies, all of which make handling comfortable and predictable, on dirt or asphalt. In addition to its durable construction, the Open Country M/T uses an abrasion-resistant compound in the sidewall, shielding its most vulnerable area. This tire has an excellent load rating, possibly the highest available in a mud terrain: the 38x15.50x18LT tire has a 128 rating, meaning it can handle up to 3960 pounds per tire. It's also capable of a 99-mph top speed.
