    Your current tires (assuming stock) are 245/75r16 so your going to lose about 1.5" in height and .4" in width. Most people go up from that size.

    Will the 235s work? Yes. Will they look silly small? IMO, yes. Those tires would be better on a 5 lug.

    They will be shorter too, so ur odo and speedo will be faster than ur going. I might would go with a 235/85/15 but not 235/70 mho

    Aside from being smaller than your stock tires in every dimension those Coopers should handle just fine, especially considering you're already at 245/75R16.

    I just put 235/85R16s on my 4x4 Access Cab and love them (stock size was 265/70R16). Personally, I like the look of the skinny tires but smaller diameter is what I don't like. The Coopers might look a little goofy only because of that.

    Just my opinions.

    yep it will looks abit goofy.. so I am sticking to the size I am using. Present size looks a real truck without the clown or itty bitty looks. So I will be planing to wait until late Feb 2015 to replace the flops. also the rims for alloy . plenty of time to shop around...
