Does size matter?

I just got my savage from jon2 and i have a "problem" that i can't resolve.
It came with some mashers (little bigger than stock) and when i lined up my big joes, the joes dwarfed them. I want to run the joes since i think they give the truck a mean stance and look great. Am i exceeding what the truck was designed for or causing significantly more wear and tear by running the bigger tires? I can go back to the mashers if i think the joes are being destructive but i want some opinions as well.

I ran the BJ's on em and you will need to retune the gearing as well as the slipper.

but speaking from a drivetrain/suspension standpoint. Is it strong enough?

 

[jon2]

I had no problems but don't run your slipper on tight.

I run velocity 6's on mine with some big joes and I really like them as well

i'll loosen the slipper a tad and see how she does tommrow.
