Max psi is 50, I had them at 45, but dropped to 40 for daily back and forth and this causes the sidewalls to bulge a little. IMHO the stock rims are not wide enough for these tires.

When I go hunting, in mesquite territory, I bump the tires back to 50psi so those peksy thorns don't puncture the side walls.

If anyone has the H2 rims, I'd like to know the rim width???

The width of the H-2 wheels is 8.5 in. and they have a little less back spacing than stock (stick out slightly farther than stock). My 315's don't rub at all with stock height in front and lowered in back. They are the perfect size for our trucks.

I noticed that your sig shows Rancho shocks. Rancho and Bilstein both have told me they don't have shocks for the 04 2500 4x4 HO Cummins yet...What numbers are you using for your truck....

I now have pictures in my agllery of the 315 mounted on my stock 17x7.5 rims. I was a little hesitant about the stock rims at first but after a couple of days getting used to the tires, I think they look great. Especially when my wife said that the tires look like they fit the truck, she just hates the fact she has to work harder to get up in the truck, she is only 5'3".

315's

I just had 315's put on my new rig. No rubbing. Love the look. My gallery has photos once approved.

rossn2,

I talked to a factory rep about the Rancho 9000's. The problem is the catalogue is not up to speed but the shocks are available. I think they are the same as the '03 but not sure.
The part numbers for the '04 trucks with the 8,800 or 9,000 GVW are: RS99221, and RS99269.
These measure out the same as stock, both compressed and extended, and bolt right on. Work better too.

Good Question, I think the rears are at 40 Psi and am noticeing the the edges are not hitting the pavement. I'm gonna try 35psi empty and make one psi adjustments from there.

A word on mud terrains, Toyo just came out with a great mud terrian that's siped and really good looking. I might try them when the bfg's are burned up.
