I hate to rain on your parade, VT, but here's a couple of cons:

(1) They suck at highway speeds. The truck has a mind of its own, and will track hard over pavement irregularities, scaring the crap out of you at times.

(2) They suck on wet pavement. The radical tread pattern doesn't put much rubber on the road for traction, and taking turns at speed is Russian Roulette.

(3) Buy a programmer, especially if you go with 37s. The extra weight of these tires hinders acceleration/engine performance.

(4) Again regarding 37s, brake performance is diminished.

(5) Cranking your torsion bars up for clearance can lead to premature wearing/stress/breakage of front end parts. A Fabtech heavy duty kit helps in this reagrd, but a lift kit is still a better alternative.

And see my comments in the other post about 37s rubbing/torsion bars/lift kit.
