Go with the Audiovox Prestige or the Viper. These have the ability to wire directly to the glow plug module harness instead of having to use a timer module to wait for the light. Temp changes the wait time. These also have a turbo timer feature which is great if you neeed to get out quick and can't wait for the turbo to cool after towing or a highway run. I used to install remote starts, car alarms, and stereos and have never had any problems with the above. I although prefer the Audiovox because of the 1/4 mile range ability with the optinal antenna.

They are 18 x 9 inch IceMetal IM889 (http://www.wheelpros.com/; you will have to navigate to the exact wheel) wheels with Nitto Terra Grappler tires. I picked them out for my truck, and when they did not fit, Rich picked them up for his.
Craig, they will fit and compliment your truck perfectly. You may have to crank the torsion bars just slightly. If so, OutlawMark can take care of it for you. You will have to get it aligned again if so, but no big deal. You will definately notice a difference in handling for the better; as well as towing, and since they are 18" wheels; you have more rubber than a couple layers of rubber bands to protect the wheels on the DC streets.
