    I agree you need to have the suspension in order before applying sticky tires. You have to get the pinion angle set and make sure you have the proper valving in the shocks for your weight and intent as well as proper length for the lowered suspension. I personally consider 26" tires on a truck useless.

    I switched from a 28x11.5 to a 26x11.5 ET Street and picked up ET and MPH. Like Quik said, it helped with gearing since I'm running 3.42's. No problems hooking leaving at 4 psi.
