He made me a deal I couldn't refuse. Bridgestone V-Steel tires with almost no miles. He decided to go with off road tires instead of highway.

Truck has 3.73 rear screw.

I MAY get a chance to swap out the tires and wheels tomorrow, but may not. We are hosting a fundraiser at the museum on the 24th, and my time is almost all spoken for the next two weeks. Headed to bed now, as I need to be up at 6.

Seeing as how it has the 3.73 rear gears, I don't think you will want the 6th gear conversion in the trans. It may drop the rpm too low for efficient towing with the gas engine.
