E range tires suck on a half ton truck, unless you need the load carrying capability of an e range tire. I know some people love them cause they are a tougher tire, but me personally I would pass.

Where in so cal? I may be able to pick it up and save the shipping cost....

Personally, I would just re gear the axles you have. Ring and pinion sets are cheaper than a whole axle

I've been looking for the same answer, I'm planning on trying the rubitrek when the time comes for new tires, I was also hoping to find some real word info, so far I've found nothing ...

Willing to ship to California?

I'm confused, your going to ditch the factory E-locker for a limited slip? Why would you want to do that? When the locker is engaged, both rear tires are locked. Way better then a LSD. What am I missing?

I air down in sand all the time, just last weekend I was out in the sand dunes, stock 20" wheels and stock tires, aired down to 15 psi and drove everywhere without issue. Been doing it for 20+ years with every tuck I've owned. It worked much better with 15 or 17" wheels, the larger sidewall...

We use a 7/8 for pickup trucks. And use a 5/8 for the buggy. If you use too big, it doesn't stretch, and negates the reason for using a stretch rope in the first place. They work really well for sand or mud, hook up, leave some slack, and punch it. There is no hard jerk, the rope stretches and...

I've searched and not found the answer I'm looking for, it's probably out there, I just can't find it. So on to my question, I have a 22 STX, 4x4, 2.7 with 3.55 gears. I'm looking for real world mpg results after a level has been installed. I'll be using factory size tires, (275/60/20) but a...

Curious what tire you upgraded to, and what it did to your mileage?

Did you end up selling them?

Curious what is the change in mpg? I'm contemplating something similar, but I do a ton of driving, so fuel economy does still matter to me
