I have the old grabber m/t on my jeep now. Been pretty happy with em.... but I've heard a lot of hype around the new ones.... oh and my buddy in his 74 Ford short bed SWEARS by coopers.... he's like 150 years old and has been wheeling 140 of those.... lol. Don't know how much he gets on rocks though. Says they have great grip off-road and great on road life manners and noise.

If you can get your wheels wrapped with a set of BFG km'1mt old style then go for it the tread pattern is good for off and on road. Lugs stay clear of mud and the rubber is extremely durable for the pavement. 31-33's 10-12.50 are good with your 3.5re and trimmed fenders.

And the bfg km1 are able to clear mud in forward and reverse they all so grip at horizontal climbing angles really good. My other choice would be super swamper interco tsl's but only in the trails

MTRs are awesome on the same level of awesome that the KM2s are.
Good road wear and good ride for an MT, great performance off road and look good. The KM2 gets marginally better road wear and the MTR can be difficult to balance (But mine on street locks didn't take any more than 6oz to balance).
IMO the MTR and KM2 are your 2 best choices for MTs.

MTZ's. Get good mileage and are all around great reviews. Mud and snow they clean out good and make a little noise on the street.

Alright guys i want zero trimming if possible so im doing this..
In a few days im ordering the 3.5 superflex, bilsteins mono shocks 1.5 inch teraflex shackles and something in the front too even it out? (what would i need)
All this to fit some 32x11.50x15's underneath it all.

Just installed the 3.5 super ride. Got it through 4wd hardware with procomp shocks. Ride quality is close to stock. Actual lift was 4.5" not including the increase in tire height.
Running 265/75-16 Goodyear duratracs, which is a hair shy of a 32-11.00. Only rubbing i get is at full lock on the lca's. Didnt have to touch the stock flares or bumper caps.
Love the tires, love the lift. i wouldnt worry about those lift shackles unless you are wanting to push 6" of lift. RE kits are known for lifting higher than advertised, if you get full leafs get a 3/4" spacer for the front to level the truck out. I have yet to get some and can def. notice the stinkbug stance.
