One thing to think about before you change tire size is the looks. That is a
low profile tire. If your truck is stock height there is going to be a lot
of room between the tire and the fenderwells. To me I think this looks very
funny, others may love it. Or you could look at it as an excuse to lower
your truck, but as you said you are on a budget. As for the gear stuff,
sorry but I have no clue.
Just something to think about,
