big dogs are the only way to go. if you want something small get a cat lol.
its pretty big in person. not huge, but big. get out a tape measure and check a few things on your truck to compare. my tires are 38x12.5 in and the roof is 6 feet 7 in high. min amount of ground clearance is the rear diff. the lowest point of the diff is 13 in above the ground.
oh and a bonus i found out tonight. the sidewalls of these tires are steel ply aswell as the tread. i let all of the air out of one of them and it barely moved. literally took the needle valve out of the valve stem. you could bust a tire and drive somewhere with a flat to get it fixed without running on the rim.

That's sick about the tires! I guess now we know why they weigh so much!

for my next dog i was to get a doberman pinscher crossed with a rottweiler. i like both, but cant get 2. saw some half n half pups one time and really liked the look of them. mixes seem to have fewer problems too.
yeah, about 100 pounds more each! the load rating on them is something like 5070 pounds. they are a rugged tire

I like dogs too. This is me getting bit by one (I train sport and police). Malinois and pitbulls for me. Sorry to take this thread off topic. 
What are you going to be carrying with you to change your tires? Going to have to weld spots on your truck to get a jack onto?
