Yes I am. Very happy with both the ride and noise (almost none) level. Actual height is 36" after chalk test running 29.5 psi in front and 29 psi in rears. I have the manual (6 speed) and can tell you rewearing to 4.88's will be done in the near future.

man would i sure love it if you could take a tape measure to the tread width of those and report back, cannot find a 'tread width' measurement on 11.50's anywhereYes I am.

my falken mt's 37x12.50 also measure just a touch over 36" and run a 10" treadwidth, a full half inch less contact width than the goodyear duratracs i ran before at 10.5"...the falkens are skinny and i like that a lot...but if those are a 9.5" tread width...i'd like it even better
i hear nitto's run fat on the tread width though so you and i could be the same anyway????the complete tread width, sometimes you have to measure a bit of an angle as the blocks offset if you run tape straight across from long side to short block...want long block to long block...i'm begging you, or anyone with 11.50 for this number please

There are a lot of nice all terrains that come in 285/75r18! And mid terrains if that is your preference. (35x11.5)
A quick google search will show you many great options!

Well, you down in Texas? Got that tape measure? I’m on 37’s and 4.88’s now with manual transmission...heaven. I do want these 11.50’s though. If you got Instagram look me up @gladiatoryycYes I am.

Sorry for the delay...moving in the middle of a pandemic has been a little hectic - They are roughly 9 3/8" (tape is bent as you can see at about the 5" mark so deducting a little for the curve) at the widest part of the tread. Closer to 9" at the next lug over that you can see if a little indented.

Thank you Sir! It's what i was hoping for. Great build btw.
I highly recommend the 4.88 gearing when you get settled and a chance. At 80 mph you'll turn about 2700 rpm in 6th. My fuel economy has gone up about 1/2 mpg at first but now that i'm driving it like a sports car because it's super fun and snorty...it's starting to get closer to what it was on 3.73's. However, it really is having your cake and eating it too. It has power everywhere, cruise control is useful on the highway, it tows great (i tow a cargo trailer camper conversion at 3400 lbs), and you can clutch out without throttle just about anywhere now. All while getting better fuel economy. My accumulated mileage on the 3.73's with 37's was 16.0 mpg, and on 4.88's it went up to 16.6 and now down to 16.4 after 2000 miles.
Also, i added the speeddawg cue ball gladiator shift knob, a 2 minute install but a seriously awesome mod! We sure do love playing with our sticks lol

Requested 4:88 upgrade quote and hoping to get it done in the next 2-3 weeks. I can’t wait.
