[QUOTE="The Butcher, post: 1146076, member: 17789"] If you want the best ride pay to play. Carli or Icon. Do you already have the gooseneck trailer? If so, you need to take into consideration the attitude of the trailer when towing. What I mean by that is that you want it to ride as level as possible, and the height of your truck will effect that. If the neck height of the trailer is adjustable, then it isn't as big of a deal. Long story short, if you are nose high on the trailer, you are going to be changing the stress on the trailer suspension and tires. Even loaded with weight biased toward the front, if your trailer nose is in the air, the rear tires on the trailer will be getting the most stress, and I've seen this cause blow outs on long trips. The quick answer to your question (given what you are going to do with the truck), is to go Carli 4.5" with their replacement rear leaf pack and long travel air bags and 35" tires on a wheel that is 9-10" wide. Rides like a dream, tows fantastic. Toyo M/T if you want a mud tire (relatively quite and tow pretty good). If you want an A/T, there are tons of options. You could run a 37" tire on that kit with the right wheel width and offset, but if you aren't swapping gears or doing engine mods right now, I'd stick with a 35. You can always go to a 37 on the next set of tires if you want to go bigger. All of that being said, I went with the Icon 7" and 37s, and it rides fantastic and tows good too. I think it needs a little more power though, so will probably delete and tune it soon... [/QUOTE]
