Thanks bud, I didn't notice a power drop at all. I have noticed a milage drop though. I have not been able to accurately calculate how much though due to the dash being off. I know I lost roughly 1-2 mpg when the Shell in level were installed. Im expecting no more than 3.5 to 4 though with tires. Around town my mileage hasn't suffered as much, it's the highway where I have noticed the biggest drop.

Thanks man, that's what I bought the truck to do! I'm hoping to slowly regain the respect of some of the forum members by proving I'm not some youngin' that likes big tires on trucks and doesn't know how to work one, haha! I built this truck for work and play.

Thanks bud, moreless the same thing I said! Sorry I wasn't able to respond as fast, haha!

Yea bud, haha, I haven't made up my mind yet, but I think they would be awesome for ditch banks or either put the HIDs in.
