You can, and many have, but your mileage will suffer on the highway because your torque converter will constantly be kicking out of lockup. As a result, you can also easily over heat your transmission.

That being said, what are your thoughts on upgrading from my current 265/76/16 Duratracs (advertised as 31.7 inches, actually closer to 31) to 285/70/17 Duratracs (advertised as 32.8 inches, most likely closer to 32 flat, if that)? Feasible with the stock gearing?

So, no more than 32's on 3.42 gears....which measurement of 32's is that using? Rated? Loaded diameter? Circumference?
