Question can't decide

Allright all you experts. I have a 95 F150 4x4 with stock suspension, quad shocks, 3.08 gears, and a 4r70w tranny. I am soon going to replace the stock 235 tires with a bigger size. They just look to small for me! I want to go with 31 or 32 inch. I just can't make up my mind. I Know it will change gear ratio, speedo, etc. OPINIONS PLEASE!!! Thanks.

What kind of driving do you do? If you are on the highway a lot and dont tow or haul heavy loads...then the 3.08 should be OK...and you might even consider stepping up to a 3.73. If you dont do a lot of highway driving, or you tow/haul heavy loads, then I would throw some 4.10's or 4.56's in it....

Mostly highway, but what I cant decide on is 31" or 32". I just think 32's look a lot better. Also I hunt alot is why I'm considering 32's instead of 31's.

i run 31s on all mine, but i buy the older model trucks... 31x10.5 look good on any truck imho, and you dont have the added weight of the extra inch. maybe i'm blowin smoke out my tailpipe, but thats my opinion
