2004, nice truck! A whole other look for a 4x4, nice! That approach might be best for me so my kids can still get in and out without a ladder. Thanks.

But the EPA really doesn't care what mileage they get towing.

dont remember if I responded to this.... I contention is that highway would improve, however city driving, in which we do more of would tank.. thus overal average would decrease...thus they shouldn't offer this as it would get around 11 in town as compared to the crappy 14 I get now..

U guys... I am running 315/70R17 BFGs (34,5" high) on stock wheels (17"x7.5") and a 2.5" Daystar leveling kit.
No probs here, there is a slight (very little) rub in full turn with the frame, nothing to worry about.
U could also go with the GoodYear 305/70R17 MT/R (34") and no rub at all, even w/o a leveling kit
