I just went from E rated Mud Grapplers ( 35s ) to D rated Iroks ( 37s) and my ride improved. I am runnning 5.13s in a 6 speed and I am ( as well as my wife) very happy

I did go from soft 8s to alloys when I did this, I can't prove it because I dind't actually weigh the new tires and wheels, but after moving them around several times I beleive the new combo is lighter.

And man the IROKS kick a on the rocks and in the mud.

I'm on 34s now. I should have done 35s, but thought I could bypass the superchip with 34s. Dumb move on my part. I already have the front gussets, sleeves and RCV shafts and PSC steering. Also have superiors in the rear. (I know,, it's overdone) From what little offroading I have done with this new rig, for me it would be an even dumber move to go to 37s for all the negatives given by Planman. I was all set to order them until I started adding up all the reasons not to. The JKU auto with a 3" lift, locked, on 35s with 513s is the best of both worlds.... DD & Offroad. Anything beyond that starts to shift into an offroad rig that loses some of its DD qualities. JMHO
