I don't think ride quality will be affected over stock, at least not enough to notice.

Sorry, I miss read what you were asking.
The 19.5s are a nice option. Keep your eye out, I see used bread van wheels on CL every now and then.
After doing some more looking around, I found 245/70R19.5's in a Toyo M608Z for about $1200 more than going with 235/85R16's. 33.2" OD x 9.4" wide. I won't need spacers with these tires. Just another used set of wheels.
I have that same size on my dually crew cab, they work good.
If you are looking for 19.5" wheels and can't find some local for a reasonable price let me know.
I found a wrecking yard that will sell me a set of (6) for $500. Now I just need to decide if I want to spend that much on tires or stick with the 16"s to save $2000.

Myself personally, i think that the 19.5s look out of place on a pickup. The 16's still look hardcore and rugged but look right at home.
I'd stick with 16's.

So they are. 
Thanks for trying anyway.
I just received a gear reduction starter in the mail today. I will be happy to get it installed and be able to start the truck reliably soon.

Do you have the gr brace also,if not do not bolt it up until you get it?.
I haven't looked at which starter is in the truck yet, but it will be going in with the correct brace or I will make one.

Nice score Kenny...
Kenny, does your truck have the automatic locking hubs?
Yes, it does and they actually work well.
If you want to swap them for locking, let me know I have a set of nice OE (NOT SPICER) ones off my 86 K30 I would trade you for.
I don't want to change them right now, but maybe this summer. I have too many other things going on at once right now and they are not broke.
