I got me a set today. Looks like a completely different truck. 275/70/17
What sliders are those and how do you like them?

I have the Shrockworks sliders. So far I have no issues with them. They are built extremely well. I haven't used them off-road yet but I have no doubt that these will perform well.

General is running the $100 off again until 10/31/20. I went ahead and made the plunge and ordered 265/70-17 non LT. I felt like 14/32 vs 16/32 was not enough to justify the slightly harsher ride and extra 10 lb per tire to go LT. I ordered thru Tire America who had an additional 10% ($62) off and using Rakuten got another 3.5% cash back. Had narrowed it down to the Grabbers, Firestone XT and Duratracs. The $100 rebate, extra 10% and 3.5% sold me. Also figured I'd do it while the Hankooks are still at 75% tread so I can sell them. ?

Nice, doesn't look like you have a level kit, correct? I'm leaning towards these.
You know the Grabber ATX is the tire Ford is using for their new more aggressive package coming out soon. I think you are making a great choice! As soon as I chew up or wear out my tires it is what I plan to mount next.
interested to hear your take once you. Have had an opportunity to try them.

Hey Garret, did you get your sliders with the step plate?
Iam thinking without.

They are quiet on road and awesome off road. Good in the snow and okay in the rain. I am happy with the ATX.

Just installed some 17x9 +1 Fuel Shok's and 285/70 Grabbers myself. For those wanting to know the factory wheel and tire weights about 58lbs and the Fuel Grabbers about 70lbs. Have not ran a full tank yet to know the MPG difference.

I've had these tires on my truck for 20k miles now and I like them. Very capable off-road and reasonable ride/handling on pavement. They'll definitely remain on my short list when the time comes for new shoes.

My Roush Ranger came with the Grabber ATX 285/60/18.
I don’t have a lot of experience with them yet.
(I ran Duratracs and KO2s in my jeeps and previous trucks)
But so far, they handle sand and dirt well, and they are quiet on the road.

they are awesome in the snow. Not as good as a dedicated snow tire but very good. Able to climb steep slick roads and maintain control descending. Not great on real ice but again not a dedicated snow tire

Has anyone mounted a 285/70/17 on the stock sport 17" rims? Also if anyone is running 285 grabbers I would like to know their MPG hit. I am looking at getting a pair and mounting them on stock rims with aftermarket crash bars. Im running eibach suspension at a 3" lift
