Looks good! How does it cycle?

It’s looks badass but you sacrifice handling it doesn’t handle as good as the Mickey Thompson Baja atz p3 that one was 37x12.5 , did some mild off-roading loose sand the truck moves from side to side maybe becuase the tread on that nitto is soo frickn wide 13.5 and at the highway there is some steering wheel movement (vibration ) not crazy

The tread pattern on that tire is your biggest issue with handling. The lugs aren't perfectly round on there, so you get some wobble from that. The best riding 40" mud tire I've seen is the Toyo MT. I know you already dropped the coin on these, but going with the Toyo would improve the ride considerably.

Heard very positive feedback from this brand , I’ve changed the front with Motorcraft and the rear with Amsoil , after the first 500 miles I have to change the rear once again [emoji1303]
