Brian,

The tires fit just fine, but real close to the flares. I plan on
cranking the t-bars about .5-1.0 inches just to ensure clearance and
help level out the truck. I'll prob add 1" lift blocks in the rear to
make the weel wells looks less full.

Our trucks are near identical, I see you've got a 3.55 lsd; I've got
3.90 open. I have lost major acceleration off the line (didn't expect
to loose as much as I did). Once I figure out how many miles I'm
actually traveling, I expect to get about 22mpg or better highway.
