welcome to the zone. i grew up in ****, what part you from?

Welcome to the Zone > . Nice truck. I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but stock wheels do not have wide enough rims for 33 x 12.5s. Yes you can stuff them on there, but it voids the tire manufacturer warranty. If you pop a bead and have an accident that results in serious injury or death to someone you will be on your own, the tire manufacturer is off the hook. The minimum rim width for all manufacturers of 33 x 12.5s is 8.5 inches and a stock rim is 7 inches. Check out the specs at Tire Rack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?mak...yes&place=0

Good luck,

yo! WELCOME!

Good find..also, have you recalibrated the PDOM (Electronic Speedo/Odometer) yet?

Your speedometer will be off as well as MPG will look diff but most importantly, your shift point on the E4OD will be off - assuming you have an E4OD in there.
