How much research did you do? I waffled back and forth between several tires but ended up going with the Nitto Terra Grappler in 285/75/17 (~34") for my 07 F250. I still prefer the look of the BFG AT tread, but the Nitto's have been getting great reviews, it's available in the size I wanted, it was reasonably priced, and it's still load range E, as compared to the BFG AT. There are a number of good tires out there, but for me I decided the Terra Grappler in 285/75 was for me. They're supposed to show up at my local Discount Tire store on Tuesday or Wednesday, so we'll see.
