    Well, and I'm really curious to hear what you think of them in the snow up there. Your snow and ours (the type) are nearly identical. Heavy, wet, slushy and late at night/early morning it can get super slick fast.

    Where did you buy them? Our local big box store BJ's sells that exact size. Their prices are great and you get some serious perks with them. It's who I'll use. $999.80 for 4 installed +tax and fees.

    I shopped around, found them at my local Monroe that is doing 20% off this week for Black Friday...not cheap but I basically got the 5th tire free.

    Loving this thread!

    Any ideas what kind/how much lift I’d need to clear skinnies?
    Specifically, 255/75r17 or 255/80r17? Any trimming needed?
    What kind of backspace or offset would I need to prevent trimming?

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

    Good looking truck! First time I've seen someone run skinny grapplers. You have any front/rear shots, I'm debating on this tire also.

    Thanks. I also could not find many photos of skinny grapplers before I made the plunge, but I am glad I made the choice.

    Here are some front and rear shots.
