do they run them off road, where we go swimming at we have to go down a pretty step hill thats muddy most of the time with my old michleins xpc's i had not problems now i have to walk down thier becouse the treads cloge as soon as you get in the mud and one day i had my lowboy parked in my paster and it was in the grass i just loaded the trackter up after a good rain and it just slidd on top of the wet grass would never bite down and grabe. I found Some Maxis mud tires that are 31's for the 18's, ""Discomike how much of a lift do you think i need to run the 31's"" and as soon as these are gone that is what i am going to go with. Now if your going to stay on the high way or just a sandy road get the nittos nopoblem realy good on the beach but they do not need to say A/T on them. And pluse i can never get them to stay balanced. pro ofter the 7th time i stop trying.

I am running 265/75/16 on my 99 D2, which are 31.9"s tall. On my truck I am runing just short of a 3" lift and know that a 2" will work just fine, like the OME front coils# 751 and the rear #762 coils.
