You can do it easily, but your speedo will be off. I got a superchip to fix it, but you have less expensive options.

Good luck!

Brand new ones came with my used 99' supercab flareside. They are P rated and I can not wait to get rid of them!

If yours are LT rated they would provide better handling. But the P rated version cause too much "wandering" in high winds and you feel like you are tipping over in the curves. The P rated version has too much sidewall flexing, but it fits the fenders perfectly.
