Mine are 285/70-17 Duratracs, load range E. Damn, 33x13 Es; which tires are you running? I would love more grunt, however I get it; I'd prefer to leave my 3.73s alone and throw a 2.9 Whipple on top of my engine.

It's all in my sig homeslice.
The blower will help a lot but you need gear too for fuel economy and towing. If I didn't tow as much I probably wouldn't make the switch. My axles also have a lot of miles on them so I'd like to go through them and replace everything.
Also had a bit of an embarrassing moment the other day when I went to hook up to my trailer. I have to back into my yard to get to my trailer and the front tires hit the curb while the back tires were on the grass. I put it in 4hi so my rear tires wouldnt tear up the grass but the damn thing didn't have enough power to get the front tires over the damn curb. Just stalled up but didn't have the *** to go ahead and pop over the curb

Oh, got it. Yeah I don't see sigs as much as I used to, I'm always on mobile. That is pretty embarrassing; I've never had that happen with the 6.2 but I have had it happen at work with our LY6 2500s on 285s. Definitely makes you feel a bit silly.

Half tons have the 8.25 front end. The OEMs are easy to spot, they're the ones that are $500 
I've always found its easier to send him an email with what you've got and what you want to do and he will gather all the parts and info for you. Should cost you about a grand for the parts.
