Amazing tires. My buddy's all run em on their dedicated off road rigs. But they are bias ply so the wear well but really quick. They are amazing in snow and on road. Try take a little while to "warm up" when you first drive everytime. Not the best dd tire even tho it's an amazing tire.

Toyo mts ride great on the highway. I got almost 50k miles out of my 37s on a dodge 2500. Not too loud either.

Hate mud grapplers, they ride like crap and every 18 year old kid has them, the Toyo's are really heavy compared to tires in the same sizes which can make a difference. Mickey thompson mtz are nice and last a while but once they get some wear on them they get loud, for me the best is the BFG km2. they are quiet, ride better than any mud tire out there, and i got almost 40000 on the set on my tj and there is about 20-30k left

Thanks guys. That's some very helpful info. Numbers were exactly what I was looking for to do some comparisons, although I know it can certainly differ due to driving habits and vehicle weight, etc.

So anyone have some input on this question? Gotta be somebody who knows

I can't speak from experience, but from my research here, 6" is going to require new shafts for sure.

Yeah I knew it would, but I was wondering if I could make it like even a month or so with no wheeling on the factory shafts. I have a small gap between the build and my first offroad run with the new lift.
