I believe John Christensen answered your question.  If you want the questionable "kool factor" of 30s then I spose you could put 'em on.  Losing power is a questionable perception issue.  You'll still have the same amount of power, but the truck may seem slower and the speedo will be off by a significant amount.  If it was me, I'd do as John suggested and put snow tires on all 4 corners...if you really feel the need to do so.  I live in Utah where our winters CAN be pretty gruesome, although over the last 10 or so years we've had more issues with the cold than with snow...with a coupla exceptions:



That shot is taken from my front window.  I live at the bottom of that hill.  I don't drive much in the winter (my body can't take the cold) but I don't bother with snow tires on my 95 2wd Burb.  I can usually get up the hill unless there's a sheet of ice under the snow.  Then it'd prolly take studs or chains to cope with it. 

Again, I'd just run 4 snow tires and put any saved cash into the Elky project.
