is your truck a 4 by 4? if your worried about the speedo being off, take it to the dealer and let them use the DRB to change the pinion factor to adjust the speedo. i think my dealer charger a half hour in labor to do it.

While you are still running around with an uncorrected speedo you can go to http://www.4lo.com to use one of the provided calculators. There are quite a lot for various things you'd ever want to know. Using this info you can have a real good idea what speed you are running despite the speedo lying to you.

Sorry,forgot to add that it is a 4x4.Slow2Dak,sounds like you are running big tires too.I think previous owner might have stuffed too big of a tire in the well.What is working for you?Modain,thanks for the tip,I'll check out the site.

actually i run a 255-65-16 Eagle LS on my truck but i work for a dodge dealer thats why i gave the advice. what gears are in your truck? im assuming your tires are a 285-75-16? maybe. depending on your gear ratio, it might be a tad bit tall.

According to the tag in the glovebox,I have the 3.55's.The tires I have actually rub the panel under the bumper.The previous owner actually trimmed this panel,but it still rubs on hard turns.They look great but I think I need to go down a size or two.
