Driving down the highway and it would often shift from 6th to 5th and back. Tuner corrected all of that and then some.

Thanks, and What kind of tuner do you have and do you just used canned tuners or did you get a custom tune?

Diablo Intune I-1000. Canned tunes. I don't really have a need/want for custom tunes, although this does allow for custom tunes down the road if I want. I really just wanted to fix the speedo/odo and fix my shift points, which this did and works well for me.

I actually just PM'd il_duce with the same question haha. I'm looking to get the same tires except I'm worried about running them on 3.55's. I've considered regearing but if simply running a tuner would ease the stress on the gears and tranny I wouldn't mind exploring that option.

That does it for me. I was debating between 18s and 20s. I always loved the 295/60/20 Trail Graps but the price was something else. They look stellar on your ride, absolutely perfect ratio of lift to rim to tire. Love it. Do you have a picture straight down the side of your truck to see how far they poke out with the +18 offset?

Thanks man! Killer Truck!!
