I've ran nittos (trail grapplers) on pretty much all my trucks and I've never been disappointed with them. While the new ko2's look good, they don't handle mud well, I'm hoping these ridge grapplers don't leave me stranded on a hunting lease.

Quick pic before heading down the road.




Big thanks to these guys.

Combo looks great! Discount Tire is the best! Did you ask for the road force balance?

Thank you, I'm much happier with the sport wheels and the ridge grapplers fit great with no rubbing at all....haven't had a chance to hit the hunting spot yet but there is a ton of room.

While they were mounting them I asked how much extra for the road force balance, they just said they'd do it. The location in Derby has always been great to work with. After driving to Tulsa and back, completely smooth at 80mph.

Now, with the 10 ply tires I'm now experiencing the rear end jump all over the place. Driving through Oklahoma, which is one giant wash board mixed with crater sized pot holes, I had a few white knuckle experiences at highway speeds.

I know that feeling. I had that issue with mine jumping all over the road. Fox 2.0 shocks fixed about 80% of it. When it does happen now it doesn't feel like it's going to come around just a little bit of a loose feeling.

It wasn't a very pleasant experience feeling the truck jump almost in the other lane at 75mph.

I'm going back and forth between the Bilstein 5100's and Fox 2.0. Both would do the job and the Bilstein being about $100 cheaper for a pair makes them more appealing.

The truck looks really good!

How much tire pressure are you running?
