i worked at an auto garage at the time and i was only 16 and wanted dual's. My boss said just pay for parts and he ran duals from the cat back. I had ALOT of money into the motor with 529's and it would still do every bit of 85 miles per hour on the highway. And the mirrors i got off a 2wd. Oh and i raced a vw bug 2.0 when they were new at the time and beat him :p

Took the runner for it's first wheeling trip at river rock orv in milledgeville, Ga
Ran 29" BFG at's aired down to 14 psi, welded rear; with other rigs with at least 33" m/ts locked front and rear and waaaaay bigger than my truck. Needless to say I was quite impressed as well as countless others.

I think the're the generic pep boys brand M/T, Dakota Definity M/T? They were on there when I bought it so I cant complain about new tires. I let you know how they do when I get 'em in the dirt. I know they aren't cheap for being some knock off brand.

Get a full size truck if you're towing anything more than a very small boat or light motorcycle/PWC trailer. The rest of the truck won't be up to the task of a ton more than that any more than the engine is.
