Hello all, I am getting ready to upgrade my tires on my 2500HD D/A to H2 wheels with BF Goodrich 285/70 R17 AT's and am wondering about the towing ability. I am sure that the sidewalls will be plenty stiff for towing but my concern is the gear ratio.
Has anybody given any thought to or changed the gears in their trucks? I would effectively be going from a 3.73 to 3.46 gear ratio. I am figuring that I am going to purchase the Juice/Attitude combo to offset the loss of power due to the perceived change in gear ratio of going to larger tires. I am pulling an 8K fifth wheel.
Anybody have any thoughts to whether the loss of power will be significant, etc.? Will the Edge Juice at the 40 or 90HP level compensate well?
Thanks.
Curtis
