OK, here are some updated pics. Same crappy camera. Went to Best Buy, could not decide..

1st mod: A 2" Autospring. Put on with 24 miles on the truck.
2nd mod: BFG AT KO 305/65/18. 50 miles on truck.

IMO, this is the perfect tire size for this setup. No rubbing at all, and it looks great. I almost went with the 285's again, I am so glad I didn't. Like many have said before, they look a lot bigger in person than they do in these pics. I was scared they might have had that "look he's trying to sqeeze a huge tire on a narrow wheel look", but it does not look like that at all. Dang things were expensive though. They ride and sound just as nice as the factory BFG's that came with the truck.

I just got done installing this tailgate shock. (EZ Down) Nice product, and hopefully it keeps the dent out of my tailgate unlike the '05.

I just found out that our plans for tomorrow got switched. We are now going to the in-laws in Pepin. But I am still coming ro Eau Claire next saturday, Mike is having a house warming party. Sometime we should try and meet up and have a beer.

BTW, the truck looks even better with the AS and 305's.

Nice truck. The only thing I don't understand is why Ford won't paint the whole freaking mirror!

I am planning on buying one of these...How well does it work? Is it as smooth as the vid shows on the website?
