4.6 with 285/75/17

The power and mpg will drop a bit, easily fixed with a programmer.

Thanks Stewart.

I should have really said that the power will be fixed with a programmer. After adding that much tire, the mpg's will be lowered no matter what you do.

A programmer will also allow you to correct the speedometer for the tire size change.
