I had my mind made up at one time and now I cannot decide and would like to pick minds and see about the options…
What I would like:
Larger sized tires than the 9.00x20.
Keep the trailering aspect of the beast.
Ease (relative) of changing tires by myself on the side of the road.
Availability of spares, not only around homebase but on the road as well.
The truck would be used as a travel vehicle, not just around town, possibly towing a fully loaded M105.
I had been set on the following: 11.00x20 (stock rims) on the back and 14.5x20 (or equivalent) on the front.
I have also been looking the MRAP wheels and 395/85R20.
Questions:
1. Has anyone done the MRAP/395 swap and towed with it after the swap?
2. What has the swap done to the powerband in regards to towing?
3. Other than looking REAL nice and better clearance, is there any OTHER reason to go with the MRAP/395 setup?
4. Is there any reason NOT to go with the 1100/14.5 combo?
5. Is there any other option in mounting the 14.5s on the front axle other than A3 or Custom rims? I’ve also read somewhere that A3 rims are not the way to go…
