Ok thanks guys for the quick responses. Black out...white in it will be.


Blake...yes that pic is old. My BFG ATs are not completely wore out but are more worn than I like with all the towing etc. I do. They have 50k on them now. They probably have 10,000 miles left in them maybe more if I push it.

I bought a spare set of 3rd gen wheels.....and the ATs will probably go on that set eventually.......to be punished at a race track or something. I don't want to burn off the MTs! To pricey!

Ok, they are on. Pardon the dirty truck!

Thank goodness for the Smarty to be able to easily reset the pinion factor for the bigger size. These things are definately going to lower my rpms going down the highway!

Good choice...White side in is only way to fly!

Think you got a pic of EVERY angle?
And powder coated acorn lug nuts is not something you see everyday. They came out nice!

Don't understand something.... KM's have stronger sidewalls but lower load rating than AT's..... and lower max speed rating??

Sure look sweet though!

Yeah finally got some "real" meats! Let's see how long that meat lasts on paved roads.

They are not Loud......but they are a little bit "louder" than the ATs were.

Thanks RJ! You will see them tomorrow anyway. Im not sure about the ratings either. The 37'' Mud Terrains of the same tire are like 500lbs per tire higher capacity. I just didn't want to go that big.

They feel "different" than the smaller ATs. Not hard to turn or anything, but just a little more "squishy". It will take a little bit of getting used to them I think. Not knocking them at all. And, my rpms are running about 1800 at 75mph now.

Now if they'll just offer them for those of us without 17-22 inch wheels they'd be even cooler.

I need to see pics from a few more angles before I render a decision.

What's the Red Thing in the 4th pic? (Thread-Jack in progress...)

I also stepped up from 285 BFG KO's to a 37/12.50/17 BFG KM2. Just had them mounted and balanced today. Put them on for a photo op, but have not driven it yet as I am thinking about getting them siped. Will try to have pics posted tomorrow.

I'm guessing sway bar bushing. You owe me $20 if I'm right

Yeah, he is thread jacking to push one of his latest products. It's not JUST a sway bar bushing...its an "improved" one.

But thanks to his 'SSSSS', Track Bar bushings, and sway bar bushings etc. I feel comfortable enough with my truck's front end to go with these bigger tires without worry.

Kewl..im looking forward to seeing them. Can you tell me a little more about getting them "siped"? What does that do? What is the benefit? And can it be done without taking the tires off the rim? Costs?
