Nitto mud grappler
Having a hard time finding stuff on the mud grappler. I'm am set on getting them I'm just not sure on size and I'm going to order them today. I am running 38x14.5 so I'm thinking should I bump up to a 40 or go down to a 37. Also I have 5.38 gears.

A lot... said by every woman to ever live.
Seriously, that two inches is additional weight, mass to roll. I imagine the comment is directed towards whether or not axle upgrades have been completed outside of the 5.13 gearing.

40's will snap stock shafts if you hit a pothole to hard, you need chromoly's. Then you'll need adj CA's, ball joint upgrades, gussets, tube sleeves, DS. And a sawzaw, plus 4" of lift is cutting it close, your limiting uptravel. 2" is a huge difference. Like I said 40's aren't plug and play.

Unless he is not going to wheel it, I see more lift needed, some kind of axle reinforcement if he doesn't already have it (maybe even a stronger axle in general) and possibly some other cutting/trimming.
If he has other mods to account for any of this, it is not listed in his build.
