FireZap -

Hey my truck is a 4x2 and I have a 3.5 inch suspension lift and of course the increase in tire size also brought me up atleast another inch. My old tires were 255/70/16. As for the 305's it really hasnt hurt me all that much. I used to get anywhere from 285 to 320 miles on a tank. I still run in that range believe it or not, I dont baby her but I dont hammer either. how about you?

GreatWhite,
yea it sure is a great looking ride. Unfortunately my truck is no where near that height. Maybe a spindle lift in the next year and 295/75R/16's in another 45,000 miles
