And then there's always Sol's previous ride sitting on 33's with aftermarket heavily offset rims.
Not many of us have messed with the 3rd gen.

Morning all. So no my interest has shifted to a body lift. Suggestions to where I can find a min 3" overall lift for the 2010 2wd?

Also those w the Truxxx 3/2 lift, are u happy w the overall height increase ie. you wish you went bigger?

Hey FordandPolaris how do the Coopers ride on road ? Have my lift coming in today and now doin the tire search. Like yours and the nitro trail grappler look. Anyone else's input would also be greatly appreciated!

They are a little stiff (10 ply) but I do not mind that. As far as traction, in the rain they were a little slippery at first, but after some wear they work fine. Some of that has to do with the wider tire hydroplaning a little easier as well (nothing dangerous, just a little slippage going around corners at times). In the snow they are amazing. I can get the truck going in 2H with a foot of snow on the ground with relative ease. And dry of course they are perfectly good.

As far as noise, they do hum a little, but it doesn't sound like an 18-wheeler like some of those wide tires might. I think these have the perfect mix of A/T and M/T tread.

I see a lot of Nitto Trail and Terra Grapplers on trucks and have never heard anything bad about them. I just chose Cooper's cause I liked the pattern a little more.

Yup.. I'm one of the few that went from a Truxx 3/2 (33" Nittoz) to Rize 8" (35" Procomps) :head3:
