One thing I didn't like about my truck were the Goodyear tires. They have very little lateral traction on wet pavement. So needles to say I was a bit apprehensive about using them off-road. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they performed. Mind you, I didn’t drive through any heave mud. But they offered enough traction to climb some very steep hills. I lowered the pressure down to about 20 pounds. Down from 50 pounds for street driving.
As far as my gearing is concerned, it was very adequate for 31-inch tires. I thought my Sport performed very well.
They bend instead of crack and any gloss black paint will tuch them up. They go well with the 32's and 2.5 inch JD lift. I did ramp this setup(no score) and the wheels stuffed fine. Even with the stock brake lines and the wheel free hanging, there was still some play in the line. I do however carry a set of pro comp lines just in case. The M/T's did not rub until I put on the dual shock setup. Trace set me strait with a fix for that. I feel the inside rub would have been cured with a 4 inch backspace, but an outside rub on the inner fender would happen at full lock and compression. I still need to do a rear locker, but I will leave the gearing alone.(for now)
