Post Toyo/Mickey Thompsons, TeraFlex/Other brand lift

Cant decide between Toyo 37's Open Country Mud Terrains or Mickey Thompson 37 Baja MTZ's.

Also, all I am familiar with is teraflex as far as lifts, but is there another brand I should use for a 4 in SL?

Thanks for the input guys!

Teraflex makes the best lifts period... Some may dis-agree, but I've driven three Jeeps all with different lifts and teraflex to me, is by far the best.

Go with the km2's, you won't regret it. They are unstoppable on the trails and are VERY quiet on the road. Worth the extra money. You should be able to get brand new for $340-$360/tire for 37''. Not sure on the other sizes.

i have run a lot of tires over the years and recently have been running toyo's. by far, these are the best tires on and off the trail i have used yet bar none.

Also, all I am familiar with is teraflex as far as lifts, but is there another brand I should use for a 4 in SL?

teraflex is a great company that makes a great product and is also on the forum all the time to help out anyone and everyone. needless to say, you really can't go wrong with them

he didn't ask about KM2s... although I agree they rock!

I say between the 2 listed TOYO

lifts? TeraFlex hands down. Lot of people like BDS too.

My bad... Between the two choices listed, I would go with TOYO. Ran them on my 95 for years. They were a bit loud though.

I would still go with KM2's hands down now that I have crawled in them. World of difference.

I;m running the toyo's on a 6.5 long arm BDS only about 1200 miles on them but real quiet on the road and have a bit of bite off. For prices you may want to check superior4x4.com they had a good price for me. I am affiliated in no way to them

Get the Toyo M/T's well worth it...great wearing, quiet and great in the mud! Going on my second set of Toyo M/T's on my pick-up and once again....ZERO weight to balance these tires. Last set lasted me nearly 60K miles that's running them on my Torque Monster CTD and the majority of the time on Forest Service Roads and not much on the pavement. Also, Toyo M/T's were the first tire that I never had a flat tire or sidewall puncture or lug chunking on my job sites...that says a lot!!!

However, I did consider the Nitto Mudgrappler over the Toyo M/T...but price & running the Toyo M/T before swayed me to pick up another set for my CTD. Drawback on the Toyo M/T is the tire weight and somewhat even the price....but you get what you pay for.!

I ran a set of Mickey T's MTZ's very disappointed wore totally out at 25K miles and the lugs chunked and weak sidewall that also need a tonne of weight to balance.
