A tire's diameter is measured inflated and unloaded. When you install the four tires and then set a 4500lb vehicle on them they will compress some. The only way to prevent that is to raise the pressure. Add the squatting to the fact that 36.5 is called a 37 in most corners you get an "intstalled height" a good bit shorter than advertised diameter.

Anybody have a 38" or 39 tire on it yet with the 2" lift. Also anybody have photos of another marketing lift in the 3' or more size.

Man I hope not haha! Tire manufacturers have a tolerance on widths and overall diameter. If you go to their website it will show you exactly what size they actually are. It's not uncommon to see larger truck tires that are up to a half inch shorter than what is stated on the sidewall. All I care about is weight really.

Just picked my black beauty up today! Drove four hours to pick up because the dealer who had the one posted right above at cross didn’t want to sell for a good price unfortunately. Loving it so far drove about 250 miles. Mopar 2” and 35” KM3. Must say these km3 are quite noisy. I have KO2 on the Trd pro and may switch to those. This is my daily driver.

I am planning on KO2 37/12.5r17 with the mopar 2” lift. Plan to purchase tomorrow for the discount tire Memorial Day sale
Have run all versions of KO here in the Rockies and it’s the perfect compromise that has never let me down. I will also DD and use it for trail riding.

37” tires on stock wheels. No rubbing while steering lock to lock.

Now that you have had this set-up for a bit, how is it working out with articulation and rubbing? I assume you have a lift as well with the 37s? Any issues with the 37s on the 7.5 Wheels?

I would like to request a photo comparison Please. Maybe between: stock with stock 33 tires, stock with 35s, lift with 33s and with 35s, and lifts with 37s unless someone has a better lineup. 11 pages and they all look good and I can't tell what is what. This will really help me decide what I want to do.
