I'm not an expert, but I see a turbo and no spark plug wires.

Must be a diesel.

Just picked up some 17's off a 2010 mustang for the truck

What size rubber are you going to run?

 

[jrpdash9]

Well right now they are 27's. I'm hoping to at least go back to 31's maybe bigger

Must be a p-metric size right? I don't think you can get floatation sizes on a 17 inch rim.

Ya, what ever is close to 31 in metric. But that Is the rough over all tire size at least.

I love my 245/75/16 which is basically a 31x10.5 when converted.

That is what the truck ran back when it was stock 4x4, I also love them
