A friend of mine has the same truck model as yours. He just installed a 4" lift kit and replaced his wheels with the same size. He mentioned that the engine really suffered due to the bigger wheel size. So I guess better look or get a smaller size of wheels to avoid any power lose.

a "V6" 4.9L?... I6 is the 4.9L 300 cid 6 cylinder engine.
Much larger dia tires needs a steep set of gears, front and back on a 4x4.

I used to have a 4.9 I6 2wd. My guess is it would be a bit much for the engine, however, I would be more concerned about the tranny handling it. I never enjoyed it for towing, I know that.

im running 31" and my 4.9 does fine but then 33" are a bit bigger. and i think these trucks have 3:55 gears so 4:11 might be better. to bad you dont know someone with a jeep and 33" tires that you could swap to see the difference.
