    Advise for what? Here's my suggestion, hook up and go. I don't understand what your trying to seek. Long as it has the same size tire on each axle.

    Depends on your rear end ratios.
    Those tire sizes would make just over a three percent increase in engine rpm for the same speed.

    They say that lopro 24.5 is the same as 11r22.5. Tall rubber sets the truck about 1 1/2" higher. So don't go under bridges that are marked 13' 6" exactly with high rubber.

    Mileage & overall height was the main concern, thanks for the input.

    Mileage depends on your gearing(part of the equation), but if your worried about height, it's safer to get the measuring tape out.

    Is there a "standard" 5th wheel height? I realize the higher your 5th the higher the top of the trailer. I've been meaning to measure mine....but it's quicker to ask here while eating breakfast
