going up

doing some research on putting Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 37x12.5R17 with a 6" lift on an 04 EX(6.0 PSD). any one out there with this combo or something close? Any thoughts on pulling about 9000 lbs behind it.(30' enclosed snowmoblie trailer) Any and all opinions are welcomed. Milage out of tires along with treadwear info also.

Even with the diesel you might want to look into new gears. What gears are you running now?

as far a tire milege and wear, i have them on my wrangler and i feel that they are wearing pretty good, i have had them on for about 15,000 and shown minimal wear(for a mud terrain). but on a truck our size and weight and with a trailer i am guessing they will wear out pretty quick.
