Yeah I probably could have milked them a bit longer, but with winter rain coming it is probably best. I had 3/32's left on the rears at the end of July and then took a 3000 mile road trip the first week of August. Since there was so little tread, it was hard to get a perfect balance on them (or so they told me) and I fought a shimmy in the steering wheel for most of the trip. Wasn't so bad once I hit 80mph, but 60-65 was pretty bad. Seemed to get better by the end... or I was just so numb I didn't notice it.

Well where is the photos?

What lift do you have to put on that truck?

Why are you going taller? You know that makes it hard to get in right?

Won't go on right away, still have some tread left and the lift still has to go on. Hopefully this will push me to get it going as it needs a regear the same time (3:73 to 4:56).

So for I like the coopers and reviews are good on this as well. Better hwy use without loosing off road grip.

JR,

I can testify that the 4.56 gear I run with the 37's works well. My mileage and power are both good.

I think you could get away with 4.10 with a tune and transmission reprogramming to hold gears longer, like with the tow mode, but the 4.56 would work, and you'll be amazed at how it feels, like the truck is lightweight.

JR:
Yep, 4.3 would be perfect but not made. I don't even use 6th right now, so the 4.56 will rev faster also and probably keep my same cruise RPM.
