Gotta add my 2 bits. I just god done with my SAS on my daily (70 mile) daily commuter. I was able to do it without loosing my vehicle; however everything had to be carefully planned. I built all of the parts first, did the rear leaf conversion one weekend, ran it like a dragster with the rear up in the air for a week and then did the front the next weekend. I barely got it done and I have a metal shop with all of the tools. I can tell you it won't drive the same, if you like to fly down the highway, stop quick, etc. don't do the SAS especially on such a new vehicle. As far as tire wear goes if your suspension is set up right a larger tire will wear slower and doesn't cost a whole lot more. You figure every point on the tire touches the ground less times for each mile you travel as the tire gets larger, leading to not only less contact with the ground for every point, but also more cooling time.

I guess it helps sometimes to look at the date.
