Run 205/40/17 tires on those Eskies. You'll be happy. Also,try out Nexen N5000 tires. You will love them,and they are pretty cheap too.

No prob. Tires end up being just barely smaller than stock overall diameter,so it doesn't throw your speed off by much,maybe like 3-5mph,but the size of the tire definetly plays a huge role in the way your truck sits. 215/45/17 is also a good compromise.

Check out the difference of the same drop with 50 and 40 profile tires:

205/50/17 - Too much sidewall,truck handled like crap,sat a little higher

205/40/17 - Sits a little lower (I was able to lower the front end more because the tires didn't rub anymore).

So there ya go for reference. I personally quite liked the look of the 40s. Seeing how you sit now on the 14s with the small tires,I think you'll end up going with the 40s.
