Sal- That has been the main reason for the conversions. I am in the midst of it right now. The issues have been with overloading the OEM 14" tires that have a 1870lb load capacity and that is where the failures seem to be taking place. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has kept their original TM setup (no lift kit) and tried to put on the bigger 15" D load rated wheels and tires. Not sure if they would fit. The lift kit for my 04 2720SL is 40.00+ shipping which is cheap cheap cheap. Seems like a no brainer although the wheels and tires are much more than the lift kit. Just some preliminary numbers I have are three rims at approx 50.00 each, tires at 80-100.00 each, plus balancing and tax. Your looking at 400.00 plus but I felt it was worth it to have peace of mind knowing I may be loaded to say 3800 lbs and am 1000 miles from home and really dont want a catastrophic tire failure. Can you say "peace of mind".
