I don't think downshifting hurts it too bad. We have a suburban sittin on 35"s and we haven't got a custom chip for it yet...it's the only way to slow the beast down. I would think it would actually help, seeing as how you don't ride your brakes nearly as much...I know I d/s my 5-speed every time I slow down.
