I just bought (4) Four brand new tires instead of the 31x10.50R15 I got the 33x10.50R15 BF Goodrich T/A KO I got them $186 + tax mount and balanced at my local tire shop! I shopped around a lot of the shops here wanted $206 each + tax. Truck feels better my old tires are bald! best $788.64 spent I recommend this tire

Any issues with tire clearance in the front? I plan on replacing mine as well and I'm considering the 33s.

I ran those tires on many vehicles and found they were good everywhere but the mud. Never tried them in snow. The tread fills up and does not clear well making them almost like have slicks on in the mud. You have to have a lot of wheel spin to clear the tread pattern. I would think snow would be similar to mud.

Same tire and size I put on my 1009 30K miles ago,still love them and have done great in snow.And they are about to release a new version of this tire that looks really nice and rugged. Another nice thing was after adding 33s my speedometer also matches my GPS!

I got a Rough Country 6" lift and also ordered the transfer case drop, steering damper upgrade, sway bar drop. And drop Off Road Designs I ordered extended brake lines. No surprises. I did the install on my lawn with blocks but a shop with a lift is the way to go lol. Good luck and post pics. Any questions just ask.

Went to a car meeting in Belgium. Saw a lot of nice stuff and even a M35a2c.

On the trip home we started discussing if the transfercase can be modded in the following way:
Current is: 2H-4H-N-4L. Would it be possible to mod the transfercase to this: 2H-4H-N-2ExtraHigh? :whistle:
For lower RPM's on the highway, for pulling and short trips I would still use the normal 2H.

This is a hypothetical question, just like to know if it would be possible.
Please no replies like: Other transmission, overdrive unit, bigger tires, other gearing in the axles.
