thats what im thinking... and another thing to think about is that the tires and lift arent neccessarily gonna make parts wear faster or slower... i think the biggest factor is what you do with the tires and lift, if its like mine and you use it and beat on it it will wear parts out quicker than drivin only on the highway! Its something that comes with offroading IMHO.

 

its in the paint shop this week, being totally changed to the 2008 ford pearl blue and shadow grey. i will post some when it comes back.

 

just thought i would throw in my 2 cents...

i have been running 36x15.50r20 tires for 24k miles. no hub problems no balljoint problems (i do have uniball UCA's) no tierod problems.... basically my tires have caused no problems i also get 13-14 mpg.

i also offroad a fair amount as you can see from my sig.

i know we have different year trucks but i dont think you will see much of a differance in wear, even if you wear out balljoints and tierods they are very cheap parts.

 

can you post some pics of your truck with these tires that is the same tire i had picked.

 

click on the little camera at the top right of my post to view the rest of my photos.

 

I was waiting to see if you would say something....

 

I guess I stand corrected. Glad to hear these trucks are tougher than I thought
