Welcome to the forum.

Tires make a huge difference and you'll get dozens of opinions on here about them, but just as important (if not more) would be a good LSD! If your not locking up, could be your running an open diff (although maybe not, the stock LSD on our trucks suck). A good aftermarket like an Auburn Gear or Detroit TruTrac would be a very worthwhile investment...

congrats! It will make it to 250K if you take good care of it. our 94 ram made it to 350+K before we sold it.

Man, you were actually able to sell it with that many miles on it? Thats great that it lasted you that long, but lets be reasonable, they won't last forever
