How much larger are they in overall diameter then your stockers?
Hey Jake, the stockers were 235/80/17 .........31.8" diameter , 9.3" wide E rating

The Goodyears are 265/70/19.5 ....................34.0" diameter, 10.3 wide G rating

I noticed a 250 rpm drop at 70 mph (as per gps). Not sure of the mpg's yet.

Yesterday evening was my first Interstate drive, just for comparrison, I kept it on the milage setting.
I did however jack it up to #5 to see how it ran. Not to bad, but a noticeable decrease.

(Doesn't Smarty stack well with the Edge's?)

Mine does the same thing on Level 5. Engine starts missing.

The stack isn't the problem. The problem is that you are running the fuel rail dry, the injection pump can't keep up with much more than 100 extra hp.

You need to get a FASS, Air Dog or a modified CP3 with a second fuel line to keep the rail pressurized.

Then that puppy will howl.

Here's the setup that I have been looking over



american eagle alloy series 058 wheels




wrapped in toyo m-608z. More agressive tread so I dont get stuck in wet grass



I thought you were looking at Alcoa's because you could get them through work?

Either way, those Eagles will look badd azz on your truck Jake !!
