Ok, well maybe you got lucky. My old truck weighed 6500lbs. It didn't have over 400hp back then and still tore them up. I would run a 241DHD or a 271 or something. But, seeing how he has everything for it right now he might as well give it a wack. Like I said before, the 205's in my friend's mud rail would not live with tractor tires. That's exactly what this truck will be like with un cut boggers. Heck if anything, have a 203 around in case the 205 shucks.
