Why not check into some Mud Grapp's? I know they used to be cheap when they first came out, not sure how much they are now, but that would give you the agressive look you want, a good ride on the street, and they'll last 40k miles. Plus they don't dig down alot like Bogger's and Swamper's in mud, or atleast not in our mud, so you'd be less likely to break something. They do clean out well in slick mud if you get some tire speed though, so I think they would work good for your truck. Just a suggestion, but it would suck to dump all that money into your truck and break it the first time you're hard on it.
I'm going to have to slightly disagree. When my buddy bought his F-150 used, it had 33" Mud Grapps on it. They were horrible. Very noisy. Very rough riding. Just all around an unpleasant tiire. But they did their thing offroad. But they can cake up. Do keep that in mind. A great tire off road, on road, not so much. Just my 2 cents.
