yes.
when they wear out get some bigger ones, it will look better. you will then have the problems like the rest of us that the truck feels sluggish, your speedo/odometer is off, and you want new gears and a hypertech to correct those problems.

i think the prev owner of my truck had the dealer adjust speedo from stock 225 to 265 (the largest dodge put on them as stock), and my hypertech will not allow me to adjust speedo. anyway... when i measure speed and mileage by milemarkers ( 60 mph over 1 mile should take 60 sec.), i find that my truck under measures speed and mileage by 5 %. (.05) anyway, when i correct for that i get about 13.4 -14.5 city and 15.5 - 17 on hwy.
