If I did go 37's it would be Cooper discoverer stt's.

I have the goodyear mtr/k and they are bigger than the km2. I have also seen that the nitto mud grappler runs bigger. Some tires are more ture to size. You might want to look around and find a bigger 35. look for goodyear, pit bull, interco, ot nitto. I know those brands run bigger.

I dont have pics with the mtrs tho. My first set was bighorns and they were smaller than my mtr's before I even mounted them. I had a new mtr beside a new bighorn on wheels beside eachother and they were half an inch bigger than the bighorn. I didnt check the difference after I mounted them. I think the weight rating on the sidewalls plays into it as well.

If it breaks then I'll do a pro rock. If I stay 35's I can do the arb bumper that I love tho. And if I go to 37's I have to do a stubby front. Kent from aev just built a 2dr on 3.5 with 4.5 bumpstops on 37's for a customer. It looked huge!

What's the issue with the ARB and 37's? I run the LoD full width and 37's.

Rear upper bumpstops are easy to put in, you don't have to tear the lift apart. Maybe take off a wheel to get some leverage.

Well two things. One. With minimal lift such as 3.5 for 37's it could rub easier. But two...arb did design their bumper to be able to flex 37's

Good to know. What about fronts?
