Bigger tires, shifts into OD later

Larger tires MAY hurt your gas mileage, since your engine actually has to work harder just to maintain a set speed. And, your acceleration will suffer too, since the larger tires reduce the effective gearing. But, you gain ground clearance and you probably like the look better, so that's what really matters.

Thanks, just one more question and i should be good. I did change the tire size on the programmer so does that fix the odometer and speedometer on the truck itself so they aren't off? And ya i expected the mpgs to go down a little but i love the look way much better, I feel like a kid on christmas everytime i look at them
