Just a thought, I am runnin 30X9.50 on my stocker. My gear ratio is 3.07:1 and I felt the increase in tire size. Milage dropped off and when we get the 25 - 30 mph winds, forget about 5th gear.

The up side is that before I changed tires, I would go down to South Padre Island and my skid plate acted like a shovel. I get home and while hosing off the top of the skid plate, I would get enough sand in the drive to build a small sand castle. Since the upgrade, I don't drag the skid any more.

Welcome to the board and enjoy the new toy.
