Do you have 3.73's or 4.10's?

4:10's.

It feels faster, if that makes any sense...

Makes sense...

The larger tires give you a taller gear ratio. (numerically lower).

Yea , but smaller tires would actually make it faster ...the taller tire makes the gear ratio seem more like 3.73s or 3.55s ...going to a smaller than stock size would (lower) the ratio to something like 4.56s

maybe it seems faster because you`re soo much taller now and the air`s thinner

It looks pretty good though...a leveling kit would make it perfect IMHO

I understand 'ya.

I think the reason madhat can get away with the 37's is because of the 4.10's he has...

If he had 3.73's it might feel more sluggish to him...

As sluggish as a 600+ hp truck can feel, anyway.

I was running 70 tonight coming home, and I was barely doing 1600 rpms... Yes, I have already changed my tire size...

Looks good but you had better be careful going in and out of driveways and stuff with the wheels turned or you may be doing some unwanted body work on the lower portion of the fender.

HA! Yeah, I'm finding that out. I may look at a leveling kit, but I'm gonna hold off. I could probably make it myself.
