You're gonna want to come with some more information. What size rim you want? 2wd or 4wd? Do you have a size tire you're interested in???

I run the grapplers also and they are a d@mn good tire. You get what you pay for.

i think 295 's are the max on these trucks you simply put too much strain on the front end when you go higher and more too the point heavier. imo.

I have amy 03 leveled with 17" addict wheels and 305/70/17 tires with no rub at all. That size tire looks the best imo. check out my gallery.

295 is the width (in millimeters) not the height
