what size tires are you going to run? i ran 32s but had to get shackles lift as well...but you can get around that if you take a mallet to your fenders and just bend the lip back further...did that on my new truck as well...takes a few minutes...just FYI...might not need to depending on the BS of your wheels too

i have BFG AT/s as well. surface area tread is close enough together to do well on street. but far enough apart to grip dirt. but the biggest difference between the RT's and the AT's is the side walls. AT's are built better, stronger, and have more meat to them so if you get low in a hole you dont lose traction, you gain it. Mud Terrains are built the same way as the AT's. But far more aggressive shoulder tread compared to the AT's. where as the RT's dont even have shoulder tread. and Mud Terrains tread pattern itself is designed to "Self Clean" which is why the tread is further apart between lugs. more noise and less durable on street but flings the mud out. Milage between tires i would guess would be RT's 60k AT's 50k MT's 40k
Best bet over all is the AT's. If your worried too much about it being on street, and losing tread or making too much sound, your on street way too much to bother with your truck. if your gonna get RT's, in my opinion, you shouldn't touch anything other than a dirt driveway. Tires are very important key in offroading. If you think about it, the RT's are similar to the stock tires. So you would basicly be putting on a larger stock tire lol.
