    I will be finishing my lift with eibachs with 5100s, 5125s and OMD springs in the rear. Wanting to move up from 32s to 33s and debating which tire to go with?

    I like how the Trail Grapplers look more, but I've had the KM2s for about 7 months now and love how they perform. They're cheaper as well.

    I bought KM2s, but if the trail grappler was available in the size I wanted, I may have bought them instead. . A buddy of mine has 37" trail grapplers on his Cummins, and loves them

    3" Toytec spacers, Bilstein 5100s in the back with add a leaf and overloads removed.
    If I couldn't get Toyos the KM2s would be my next choice so I'd go with them.

    My KM2s haven't let me down yet. They've performed very well for me thus far. I've switched trucks and moved up in size and had to go with GY Kevlar b/c they KM2s were not in stock. I have no personal experience with Nitto TG.

    I've owned both, I think the trails perform better but they are probably 30% louder than the KM2s and cost more for a load range E, I still voted for the KM2s because they have not let me down.

    $1110 for Trail Grapplers and $1120 for KM2s and that's mounted balanced and everything

    I like the Nitto look but have not tried them out yet. My KM's have never let me down in mud & have really held up well to the highway miles.

    I love my Trail Grapplers. They are also a much better tire in the mud than the KM2s

    What type of mileage is everyone getting out of the KM2s....is it any better than the ATs? I know the ATs hold up pretty well.
