well first off I am trying to think how big I want to go with my truck...I really would like to go as big as possible BUT I also don’t want my truck to be a dog, as I plan to make it one day hit 500 hp...does anyone know if a 33" tire would be a big difference to a 35" or 36" tire??? I also figured a 35 or 36" tire would help lower my rpms on the highway. ANYONE WITH PICS OF THEIR LIFTED TRUCKS PLEASE POST!!! ive been trying to look at pics to see different tire sizes on our trucks....


second ponder... is it better (performance-wise) to get stacks vs an exhaust system to the back of the truck? I really want stacks but I don’t want them if its better to get a different kind of system.

 

Here's my truck on 40s

My old truck on 35s


Your exhaust question it doesn't matter which system you get as long as they are the same size. Go with 4" exhaust.

 

I noticed a big power difference going from 265's 31" to 315's 34.9". I have since downsized to 285's. The 315's just ate the diesel on the highway. 285's are much better for speed, handling, mpg, and hopefully tread life.

 

You want looks or you want performance. I have a 6" lift with 37" tires (I know its 3rd gen). It did help out with my milage because of the rpms. There will be diff in power from sizes but you will have to compomise to get power and look good. 33" you wont go wrong but I prefer bigger. just my .02

 

Go with the stacks, no exhuast system can eqaul the sound you get. And theres no difference in power.


Bigger tires will always hurt your performance... so just plan for that when it actually comes time to build power.
