I would recomend buying the front adaptors from arrowcraft if you are ever thinking about going with a dynatrac hub conversion.

I lost I believe around 400-450 RPM'S. Last time I went threw a tank of fuel without a trailer I got 18.4 cruise set at 80 (little city driving) I would say I gained a solid 1 mpg with them.
Truck pulls just as good with the 22.5's to. So far they have saved me 2 sets of stock size tires and I would say the 22.5's are still 3/4 tread left

I have had that set up on my 2wd for almost two years. I am very happy with them and get about 21mpg on the highway with my 410's and 48 RE.

I love mine. I saw about a 1 to 2 mpg increase with mine. Seems I lose about the same amount if I do more city driving though. I have 10,000 miles on them and the tires still look brand new.

I have surprised many people in the way my truck rides. I had the wheels and tires spun balanced on a computerized tire balancer at a local commercial truck tire shop using clip-on and stick-on weights. This worked out very good for me. I am running 60psi in the fronts and 40psi in the rears.

I have them on my SRW and at 80mph im at 1900rpm, I run them at 95psi and they actually feel smoother than the factory tires because they just absorb the small bumps, I also had them professional balanced. About 10k miles and still like new, you can see the little nubs from those rubber hair things u see on tires when they are new. I have the Sumitomo ST 908, because i needed all terrain but also wanted good highway manners, they get good rain traction too.

Here are a few of mine. I'm running the Sumitomo 727s though. You will want the 908s for a good traction tire. Some of the other guys are running the 908s so maybe they will throw up some pics too.
