We use them on our Class 800 desert racer. Way overkill for any off-roading that you could possibly do with your truck. Good for some bling though. Remember that you will need to own a tank of nitrogen so that you can keep them filled. Also plan on rebuilding them at least once a year. As good as they are, they are a PITA on anything other than a racer. But, if you have the money to blow, go for it. We have used many different brands through the years and King has been the best so far.
