Do you have a lift in that pic?

I am trying to figure out if a Nitro Ridge Grappler in 37x11.5r18 which measures 36" when installed will fit without a lift. Since the 37 is a D and the 285/75r18 are E rated.

Yes, 2" Mopar lift.

How do you like the E rated tire? Any issues running them in the 30s for psi?

I run 35# in mine and they are a little stiff. But huge improvement with the less sidewall roll when adding the 600# tongue weight while towing my trailer.

I enjoy the Kendas. 35x10.5R17 held up nice so far. I would have went with Nitto if they had the 11.5 in a 17. But, you can’t beat the price on these tires!

Love my Kenda’s as well! I have about 10k miles on them. They are wearing great!

37x11.50x18 Ridge Grappler on stock 7.5” wide Overland rims w/ 1.5” wheel spacers and Mopar 2”. Switched from 35x12.50x18 because I like the tires under the flares and the military look. The 12.50 just didn’t look right on a 7.5” rim for my taste.

So happy to see this wheel and tire setup as it’s exactly what I had in mind. How does it feel with the 3.73’s? Still happy w the setup? I’m mostly road, but want the clearance without the weight and rotational resistance of a wider tire. My concern was whether 11.5 would look too skinny at 37”.

Thanks... the 3.73 are just adequate. They won’t hold 8th on the hwy and it will drop down to 6th and 5th a lot. I also would not recommend towing with them. For non-hwy and even off-roading, the 8 speed trans makes them work. However, I’m planning on a gear change once I get the trailer.

Thanks! How’re you liking the wheel and tire setup? Handle and ride fine?
