I was reading somewhere on here there was a mention of, "in some cases" raising can be of benefit. It was in a looong series, and I believe it had the streamlining of a van in French. If frontal area is the measurement of the area of vehicle parts moving through the air as seen from the front, then the height above the ground should not matter except for what ever "extra" parts see the air excluding the ground effect. It "IS" a truck which gets used off road, so I can't "slam it", and by raising, I'm talking 1-2 inches, not the stupid "How high can I go" BS. I have found some load range "D" tires which are about 1 1/2 inches larger dia., that will help the gearing some too. They are rated to 65 psi, so 45-50 would be good I think. No wheelchairs here, I've got 40+ years of 4-wheeling, and have only rolled once (off road race long ago)! But thanks for the concern! Your Toy was probably a 4 cyl with 33 inch or larger tires, they don't like those without major gearing changes. I have no power problem, 4.7L. I-force, V-8, so It'll pull 33 inch tires easily. Plus with the higher load rated tires, they get taller without getting a lot wider. I'm not looking for "The look".
