They Are Also Only 1 Inch Taller Than Stock So There Won't Be A Huge Power Loss And The Speedo Would Only Be Slower By About 2 Mph, Your Dealer Can Fix This With The Scan Tool...

Thanks Tork-
Do they make them for a 17" wheel? If so I'll look into them tomorrow when i'm calling around. Oh, and thanks for the warning, I keep forgetting that i'll sacrifice MPG if i get too crazy.:thumbsup

Apparrently Typing Isn't My Thing..i Meant To Say 305/65/17 Not 70. My Truck Has 17 Inch Rims (stockers) I Also Screwed Up By Saying The Speedo Would Be Slower, When It Would Actually Be Faster. At 65 Mph You Would Roughly Be Going 67 Mph. Mud Tires Definately Look Great, But They Are Noisier And Cost Alot More Too. I Have Had These Tires On Two Other Trucks And Got Great Mileage Out Of Them. I Wanted To Take It Up A Couple Of Notches But Decided To Stick With What I Know Works For Me. Good Luck With Whatever You Choose.

Don't know how old your trailer is, but when I was looking at new ones last year alot of them had spring hangers that were adjustable for height, about 4". Dealer said it was because lots of guys are lifting their trucks and this was to help with that.

Putting on big tires and towing is great if you are going in straight line no cross winds and by your self. With you steering geometry out of whack from the larger tires if you get into trouble you are done. Living where you do I would stay with the 17 inch tires and be safe. PLAY SAFE!

Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions. I have decided that it would be a huge pain in the ar$e to "fix" everything after putting on 35's including lifting the trailer, paying for lost mileage etc. I am gonna stick with 33's max and call it good. I have been searching around for quotes. One thing is for though, I need to get these stockers off pronto before I end up in the ditch ...or worse!
