Yeah 32" I think would be good until I get a Rubicon Express 4.5" lift.

I'm running the KM2's and they've been a a great tire so far. They've held up well on the rocks, some mud. I did take a small chunk out of the sidewall recently but I have to admit I hit the rock hard and bent the rim. I haven't had a chance to use them in the sand but I'd recommend them.

I've got the Terragrapplers on my D-max. They were one of the few to offer an E-range in the size I wanted. They have great traction everywhere but do seem to be wearing quicker than I'd like. For the price I thought they should last a lot longer. I might have 20K on mine and I'm almost hitting the wear bars. Not sure what to get next either.

Do i even need an E load range? I tried looking in my owners manual and the tire sticker on my door jamb and nothing tells what my truck is supposed to have. The Tirerack.com says i need a load range D tire.

I have the KM2's (31inch) and I love them. Ive taken them through Mojave, snow, rocks, and Pismo and they are awesome! I would for sure get them for your Jeep. I cant wait to get some lift and throw some 33's on my Z. Hows is your Jeep? Any mods yet???

Sorry late reply Kyle, but I have not done any mods yet. Got a tuffy center console and roll bar pad sitting in the garage. Right now i am focused on getting the trans/clutch handled. I am going to do the tranfer case overhall myself. A transmission guy said the clutch is not hard to replace. We will see...???
