heres your answer on fuel economy, if you are increasing the power from the engine the chances are that you will be useing more gas therefor getting fewer miles to the gallon, the most efficient setup w/o a custom tune is to leave it stock and put maybe a k&N drop in filter in the air box.

Most 235/85 are load rated for one ton trucks. I would just think they would be a little on the stiff side but it is your truck.

You can do a few great mod's and never have to worry about any of the drive train including T-case, Trans, and diff's.
Do a Home Brew CIA, K&N Drop in, TPS mod, and 3" cat back exhaust, and Champion Copper plugs and call it a day. If you feel that's not enough get a Super Chips, SCT, or Hypertech tuner.

Well they are aggressive A/T tires anyway, and I got them purposely for higher load ratings just because they have a deeper tread pattern which means the tread will last longer.

seems a bit cheaper than an aftermarket system, but so i understand correctly, the hose comes out near the radiator to allow for maximum air intake, but is still covered by the bumper? In my D i dont have that kind of space under the hood.

Sorry sent you to the wrong link. Sorry for your waste of time, however here is the instructions for the 4.7!
Guess what? I had some time and I decided to install... a CAI!!! 
Here are the pics:
New filter
Airbox connect. I used steel-wire reinforced plastic flex tubing with screw-type hose clamp to hold the tubing to the connector. Connector screwed into the airbox
How the tubing was routed
Closer view of route
CAI opening

Any comments? Yeah, I know the tubing is kinda thin at one point but I'm thinking venturi effect.
