Bought another OBS Ford

Just brought home another OBS Ford. I love these trucks so I had to get another. Got a 95 F250 4x4 extended cab long box with a 351W. Only paid $1600 for her. She needs tires and it has 265/75/16 load range E's on it, and I'm debating on Load range D or E. I'll be hauling fire wood with it but I want a 1/2 ton ride so i was thinking just putting D's on it. What size and load range do you run / like? The truck came from the factory with 235/85/16's and 3.55 gears. RB

go with the D for a smooth ride, and add a air bag overload unit to it, you can inflate the air bags to carry an extra 1000lbs of weight, and deflate it to ride smooth, just my 2 cents worth, Take Care, Chellie

Air Lift kits with air bag helper springs at low prices
