No way, I love my suspension even more now with these KO2’s on. Besides, my Coil Overs are specifically designed for the 4.5” CST Lift, dropping it will make me go to a new truck like maybe a AT4 with a factory 2” lift lol. I love my truck even more now with a much better ride to it. It may be a bit premature but the KO2’s ride really well and the truck seems to work much better with them on, allowing the aftermarket suspension to do a better job than when the Ridge Grapplers were on.

I think the bulkier tire design of the Ridge Grapplers threw off the geometry and gave me a much worse ride, bumpy and not stable feel.

Yeah man idk about them. Honestly I am really thinking about eating my own words and going p rated... But dang im scared of blow outs and getting stuck on wet grass! Roads I travel to get home are full of deep pot holes and I go off road. At this point im just not interested in buying tires after 30k as i need 50+ with a good wet rating and I have 4 wheel drive so I might not get stuck on grass, but mud tho...[emoji18][emoji19][emoji17][emoji51]

Buy the smaller size, more comfortable to you and your wallet, just add replacement insurance and you should be good. Mine are still rated E but ride MUCH better than the Ridge Grapplers. They do make C rated too just have zero experience with them.

Ah yes I've never dealt with the replacement insurance as I figured its a scam. You have much experience with it?

Countless, Discount Tire gives free flat fix and free rotation. Add insurance and get full replacement, other than entertainment purposes, no questions asked. Now, premature wear is another animal but does help to have replacement insurance.

The downfall of KO2's is that they are a softer tire for the first half of it's life, then they turn into hockey pucks. Up in the north here they do anyway.

They will scrub off super fast if you tow a lot or use it on a plow truck. They are some of the best tires for snow and the plow guys love them but if they get one good winter out of a set of tires, it's not going to hit their bottom line that hard.
