Heavy 35s. I bet the OPs tire diameter is close to 33.5", 4.10s or 4.30s would be optimal.

Sell the 26s, get stock 20s or 22s.

Your truck will look better
You will get better mpg ( like you want)
then you can buy a cam and install those gears and still have money to get long tubes and other stuff.

1) Ok well put them on and you will get easily 3mpg better.
2) Its troof and opinion on what you should do.
3) In that case, everyone has gears then jackass. Swap to 4:10s

**** son if he took of those blinger rims it might look like a real truck lmao and ride better with a tire that has more then an inch of side wall.... but then again i am a red neck that loves 16.5 stock deep dishes on an 80's chevy pick up every day of the week if you can find a set of 33in. BFG mud-terrains.

To each his own though sorry for rippin on you man lol to each his own. For all i know those 26's to look f*#king awesome on it.

When I put my 228r cam in my truck, I got on average 2-3 mpg better across the board. I was quite surprised when that happened. Wasn't expecting it at all.

i would at least do the longtubes. letting it breathe when tuned properly helps your mpg if you keep your foot outta the pedal
