These were great articles that I found helped me understand the logic/science behind it all.

I remain interested in anyone's thoughts about what LT tires I would want to put on my Offroad rims as well as better brake upgrades.

As far as tires go, I might suggest the Lemans A/T, they are made by Firestone. They have a 6 ply and a 10 ply format for these tires, go with the 10 ply. I had some on my dodge ram a few years back and loved them, they had stiff side walls for towing, so you didn't get that swaying motion when the weight from the TT shifted in turns. They handled very well and are (or were) quite inexpensive, ended up getting all four mounted, balanced, road hazard warranty, out the door for about $475. Not a bad deal, check your local firestone dealership to see if these are still an option. Like i said, i loved em on and off road.
