    They are BFG All Terrains that are the metric size of the stock tire that the truck came with. I think that would be around a 31.

    man if you can't tow 10k lbs w/3:55's and 5.7
    I know of another manufacture that puts 5.8l under the hood
    don't go nuts with the gears, try 3:89's great towing gear and with 31's should put those rpm's right at 2200 in OD at 65 mph
    I am sure Jordy will do the math for us

    i had the same truck and i did everything to it like 4;10 gears, headers, programmer. it still sucked going up hills, my 2 cent, trade it in for a ford diesel. that was the best thing i ever did.
