That is what I have (265/75/16's) but they are for a SUV (was on the truck when I bought it) and max PSI is 35 and I don't expect them to last long... When I buy new I plan on sticking with that size but going to a C, D, or E rated tire...What do you recommend..C,D,or E????????

I had 285s for years and they rub on the inside when you turn the wheel full lock, other than that they do great!

If you go to www.4wheelparts.com they have a tire/wheel/gear guide that will help and their tech dept is pretty savvy on the subject. As far as exhaust it depends on what you want to spend and what type of performance you want. On my 98 5.9LI'm going with a set of JBA stainless steel headers, dual exhaust 2.5" to a set of 3" Flowmaster Super 40's ( don't need or want cats; however I keep hearing about these magna flow highflow ones)out to each rear corner's at a 45 degree angle. Total cost including shipping $720.

I you want it load inside the cab and out then go with the Cherry Bomb or the old school Flowmaster, if you want it load outside with a slight rumble inside the cab then go with the Delta Flow design Flowmaster's.
