Another point not mentioned. It helps to stay lighter on the 37' spectrum. 37 bfg muds on a 16' rim is only 2lbs more than a 35' toyo mt.

 

Yeah but bfgs run small too. The toyo is prob on 1/2-3/4 smaller than the bfg in real world

 

Yes and a 37" MTR Kevlar weighs just ad much as most 35s!

 

345/75/r16 bfg km2's measure 36.5. My toyo 315's measure 34.5 mounted. Toyo 76lbs, bfg 78lbs and 2 inches talker. Im going 37 km2's after some axle work.

 

Great point on the tire weight. So the good year mtr are a good tire weight wise?

 

Weight and turning the tires are the biggest factors. Do your gussets and call it good. Much more than that could had been money put towards a D44. I'm running 37/13.50/17 Nitto Mud grapplers, not many tires are as heavy as these and currently rolling with a D30, with 5.13 and gussets. I just make sure I lay off the skinny pedal.

 

That would be a first cause thats the exact unmounted height. Well 34.6. For a 315

 

Toyo 315/75/r16. 34.9 unmounted and 34.5 mounted on rim, not the jeep. 76lbs

345/75/r16 km2's 36.9 and 36.5 mounted on rim, not the jeep. 78lbs

On my jeep, my toyo's measure almost 34.25. Compared to my previous 315 duratracs that werent quite 34. Dura's are 34.6 unmounted. 68lbs.

 

Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to go with the mtr I've heard good things about them plus they are more cost efficient and I believe also more light compared to others?

 

Anyone running stock gears with the Dana 30 on 37? I know about the loss in power and what not but I'm looking to see the changes of breaks. I heard you want to have lower gears to prevent breaks in that area? What's too low and what's too high? Is there a limit? Thanks. Sorry if I'm bugging you guys. I just would like to know
