Haha. Yeah like Kevin said -- clearance and off-road performance. I raced motocross until just a few years ago and they made a difference in getting to some of the tracks I practiced on. Plus, I thought it looked cool in the pits on race day.
I don't ride anymore and as you all have seen the big tires aren't helping with towing. With 2 kids in college (with zero financial aid), I am stuck with this truck for a little while. I think I may be good with 33s and 4.10s. I don't want to go totally stock because I will likely give this truck to my boy when he turns 16 in a couple years and he likes the off-road look. The girls should be done with college by then, so that is likely when I will get my diesel.
