Hi Michael, welcome to FTE!

You bumped a 5 year old thread, I'm going to split your thread off onto a post of its own.

And the answer is NO. There's a high likelihood that Wal-Mart wouldn't even install these tires on your truck because they are not rated for the max weight of your truck. I can't find specs on this particular tire, but from what I can tell most LR C tires in this size have a maximum load of 2,470 per tire at 50 PSI.

Your truck requires load range D tires at a bare minimum, and preferably load range E.

Do not use a load range C tire for this truck. You will likely exceed the capacity the minute you put them on the truck..if they will even sell them to you.

E-rated are what you need. Your rear end probably comes in at around 2800 unloaded.

Yeah, what they said. No way I'd put c rated tires on. Bite the bullet, tires for these trucks are not cheap.
