the 225/70/19.5 should be close to the same height as stock tires around 32 inches. the bigger the tire over stock the more your truck will lug, so it would be harder to pull the bigger tires, dont know how much weight ur pulling but my dodge pulls 40,000 through the small hills better with 215's than 235's

you have a manual or auto tranny .........makes a big diff

HAYMAFIA 03-09-2009 04:49 PM

the 225/70/19.5 tire should be about the same height as your stock tires which will keep the pulling power close to what u have now, I now mine seems to pull better with 215's than 235's just my personal experience

I am running 22.5's on my truck and it is by far the best thing I have ever done. I have a 6 speed manual and the gearing is now perfect.
Couple things to consider if you do 22.5's Rubbing isn't a issue in the front. But it is in the rear. Air bags took care of that problum.
Front adaptors get from arrow craft incase you ever want to put in a dyna trac free spin kit.
I went all aluminum rims saves a lot of weight. But the adaptors need longer studs. no big deal they are at every truck shop and they are cheap.
I was going threw 6 tires every 18 to 20K. I have about 50K on the 22.5's and the way they look 200K should be easily possible.
