E range tires - how does it handle towing? I have an 8000# trailer and do not like the stock tires - thinking of going to these. Did it hurt power or fuel economy much?
Looks awesome. I'm in the market for these tires. I don't know much about lift kits, etc. Could I put these tires on my truck without any other mods as stock size calls for 275/55R20?
You could get the same size tire as your factory tires, but if you want to go a little bigger just do a front leveling kit. I did a 2" level on mine and out the KO2 285/65/20 and love it!

Hi @cmmorsey Just got a 19 Lariat with the 20" rims, thinking of going with your original shoe size. I also have added air springs (Firestone). My previous tow vehicle was F250 (with KO) and they have always been good in the desert sand. I used Rancho adjustable shocks (RS9000, still going strong after 18 years). I am trying to understand what shocks to get now as this truck is a daily driver and when towing I will be at max payload capacity. I have alwya found the increased damping really helps. From you pics it looks like you are loaded up as well...any comments on the performance of the shocks?
Oh...I assume I need the 2" leveling for the 34s?
Another Oh, I never worried about gas mileage on the 250 (V10) as tires didn't matter, it is just lousy. Does any have a basic rule of thumb for the 3.5l on mpg reduction?
Thanks!
