34's or 35's with 3.92's?
I'm considering getting some bigger tires soon and haven't decided what size. I really want some 35's with a body lift but I'm worried it would lose too much power. If I don't do the body lift I want the 305/70r17's. Would going with the 34's be alot smarter, or would the 35's be fine?

You will be alright with 35s, i have 35s and 392 gears and its still pretty good. still knocks away them fords like they arent there and many other trucks around my area. going down to a 34 is not a big difference. you wont notice a difference by feel over that one inch. the rotating mass is very small. also my rims are the heavy fctory 20s right now and its still not to bad.

If you even need to ask that question, stay where you're at.
The two worst things you can do for gas mileage is to lift it up which produces wind drag (you ever wonder why all trucks are raked down in the front from the factory anymore?)
and put bigger and heavier tires on it...

When my grandpa got his truck, the dealer told him that the 4.10 gears it had was good for turning his 20s and 33 inch tires. But 3.92s should be good, but 4.56 gears would be the best. I want to go to those some time also.
