I want to knock a few RPMs off my highway cruising speed in an attempt to eke out a few mpg, but don't want 3:55 gears swapped in. Can I put 285-75/16 tires on my factory rims? I prefer not to do a 2" suspension lift, but will if needed. Is this a better option that the pricey 19. 5 route (since I need new tires anyhow)? Also, what will recalibrate my speedo (Hypertech?)? Truck is an '02 3500 QC HO 6-speed with VanAaken chip and BD exhaust. Its GCWR is 23k daily.



Thank you

Matt

You need to go with the 19. 5's, based on the GCWR your dealing with I would think they will payoff for you in the long run.
