New Tires and Tunes

Got my 315/75's installed yesterday. Went with the BFG hoping to get a smooth ride. These were not just for looks, although i really like how it looks, with my 4:10 gears, i can run 60-65 and stay at or below 2k RPMs.

Also got my PHP Hydra installed. Much more drive able. 80HP is all she would take but its not bad.

Looks good!! Out of curiosity where did you put your hydra selector box thing? I never figured out a spot to put mine

I couldn't get mine to stick.. Kept falling off. Now it's looped over the blinker.

I'm thinking about getting that gauge pod controller and installing a steering column pod for it

With my 315/75's and 4:10 I'm at about 2100. I have a little over 30k miles on my bfg's and they still have more than half tred left. Once these wear out I might be considering 37's nice looking rig BTW.

Do you have a lift on your truck or is that stock height???
I'm wondering because I would like to put bigger tires on mine to keep the rpm's low and get better mileage. I currently have 265/75/16's on.

Honestly, I'm not sure I want to be that dependent on tech for something so simple..
