I have had no issues with D/W with these or any other tires that have been on the truck. Knock on wood. I have also, for testing purposes, put the truck in some places it should not have been and I cannot get the tires to rub on fenders or bumper. I am not desert racing or rockcrawling, but it is alot more than driving on dirt roads.

The Predators have +.625" backspacing over the stock alloys, IIRC.
What, you weren't one of the thousands of people who got a close look at the '05 last season?
BTW - the Toyo MTs we run are 13.5" wide...

I wussed out and went 35s. They fit perfectly now, but we'll see once they wear as they have pretty deep tread.
Oh and I was getting death wobble with the BFGs. I had the tires rebalanced and the truck was aligned after I leveled it (I was getting DW before the leveling kit anyway).
Knock on wood, so far no DW. Tomorrow will be the real test as I'll be driving to Bakersfield. I felt what feels like the beginning of DW 10 mph faster than I was getting full blown DW with the BFGs. Those that have experienced this know what I mean. Today it may have just been the trucks wheelbase, which I think that was helping to throw me into previously. My wheelbase and the waves in the road would combine to get the truck bucking. Once the ride was unstable the D rated BFGs didn't help. Just guessing, but I hope it never comes back. I didn't bother driving the truck with my wife to show her, she'd have grounded the truck from it's flight.
Thanks for the advice on the 37s. I don't know if I'd have been able to easily hook up my gooseneck with them.

A sector shaft stabilizer and a set of hybrid bushings for the trackbar will work wonders with that Death Wobble!
