43" SXII stickies.
This will be offload only. My jeep sees no street miles really. Well it sees no miles but you get the picture

Had BFGs on everything, but never on a heavy truck. Wouldn't mind changing it up. Must be able to buy at Discount Tire
Looking at 35x12.50x18 or 285/75/18(35x11.5) or maybe 325/65/18(34.75ishx13)

The BFG AT only comes in a 325/65/18. It is $360/tire. Not ruled it out, just not exactly the size I wanted.

I just do not need a MT on this truck since I have the 04.
But for reference;
Toyo MTs 285/75/18 - $384 @ 4WPW
Toyo MTs 35x12.5 - $369 @ 4WPW
Toyo ATs 285/75/18 - $308 @ 4WPW
Discount does not show Toyo on their website for Texas. But when you go in, they can order them next day. Prices are not great. They just want you to buy Nittos or BFGs.

Will getting an MT sacrifice ride quality? Are these for the tow rig? Is a 35" tire going up in size from stock (obviously) or does it already have a 35" tire on there? Are you planning on pulling any Gooseneck's? Just immediate thoughts on tire selection for me.
And Also I assume these are all good tires. I have only ever run the BFG AT's but I am definitely planning on straying for my next tire. Stay away from the Goodyear MT/R's with Kevlar for a heavy vehicle (I know you don't have it listed, just hoping you stay that way).

Stock size is 275/70/18, which is equivalent to 33.2x10.2
But I am not lame, and 35s look perfect. Could probably even go bigger. Not even thinking about any sort of leveling gayness.
Its an 8000lb truck with solid axles and 65psi in the tires. Ride quality can not get much worse
Gooseneck issues are not issues with such a mild increase in tire size.

The Toyo's are most definitely fantastic tires. On a tow rig though? Meh, I dunno.
It is never REALLY an issue until you get way high, I just mentioned it cause I am lazy and jacking up our goose just that much higher sucks
Post gay ricer pictars when you get it done! I have got over 20K miles on my stock tires and I am waiting a bit longer till they get changed out, but it is itching me.
