Default Nitto Trail Grapplers

Looking to upgrade my tires. I've got a rough country 2.5" suspension lift and 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers. I'm sold on the Nitto Trail Grapplers. Going to mount them on the Sahara 18" wheels. Just can't decide on the 37X12.5 or the 35X12.5. ANY input would be appreciated.

Not sure if this helps, but I just ordered my 37x12.5x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers a few hours ago. If your flopping between 35's & 37's, I'd say go big. You'd probably regret not going with the 37's once you had the 35's.
I ordered mine through Discount Tire Direct and got a great deal on them. $367 each and payed $1835 for the full set of 5 shipped free to my door. Can't wait to get them! GO BIG and good luck!🍻

I'm running 37s now. Make sure you know how much trimming is needed for 37s and depending on your engine and gearing you may need to consider that too. Both 35s and 37s are a great size to wheel

37's are a lot to ask of a 2.5" lift. Also, several other mods may be required to run the 37's. A regear at the very least, depends on your proposed use and budget mostly.

Not trying to do much else. I won the lift in a raffle and you know how much rubber costs. I've got the 3.6 L pentastar engine with the Gibson metal mulisha exhaust. Planning on adding a CAI and throttle body spacer over the summer. Didn't have plans on regearing. I guess that all depends on how things go after I get the tires put on.

I'm about to move up to 37s with my Teraflex 2.5" lift. You'll need flat fenders, new bump stops and spacers if you're using any wheels with more than 4.5" back spacing. But you can put 37's on that lift.

None of those things will do much for the 3.6L. 37's require a lot of mods. I wish I had gone 37's, but glad I didn't spend the extra money on all the things necessary for them.

Thanks for the reply. This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.
