Thanks. I have somewhat considered gear ratio being affected. With 3:73 rear, I'm hoping it won't be affected too bad. May be best to consider adding 1-2 inches total tire height, instead of filling up the wheel well completely.
I'm not up to speed on what it takes to have a newer vehicle's speedometer calibrated/adjusted. Prior to this truck, newest vehicle I've had is 1998. I'm sure it's not difficult, but not cheap either...
