When most 4WD owners lift their trucks so they can put on bigger tires, they usually have to regear to a higher ring gear in order regain the lost torque from going to bigger diameter tires. If you don't regear, you will find that you will have a loss of power when accelerating or climbing steep grades. You may even find yerself not making it up a steep grade at all. So while going with bigger tires to drop yer RPMs may sound fine, you will end up making a compromise with yer power band.
