I have the 2.5" setup on my truck w/ 35" Toyo's. No problems, 4wd works fine... Thread with pics here:

How are those Toyo's on road noise? What about towing? I am picking up a 36-38' gooseneck and didn't want to feel like I'm driving on soft marbles. I have a friend with BFG All Terrain t/a KO's and even though they are only 8 ply tires, they feel pretty planted. He pulls more than I do, about 20k.
