Thanks.....No rubbing at all and very happy with the new look. I do have some noticable power loss but nothing substantial enough for regrets. Seems like one upgrade always leads into another though so I'm guessing gears may be something I'll be looking at in the future to resolve that. The other one that pops out at me is with that lift and tires I'm not so sure I care for the black plastic running boards any longer.

I hear ya. Once you buy something for the truck, you want something else. It never ends! But nice truck man, enjoy.

Thanks all! A little too early to tell on the gas mileage but its something I'm interested in myself. If I had to guess (based on the way it feels) I don't think I should be too much of a hit with them.

Don't mind at all joshn...Tires ran $1052 picked up at the local dealer.

Ford0218....I'm still trying to figure out how to modify my gryphon with the new sized tires so I can get an accurate reading of where I'm at right now. To be honest I never really paid much attention to it prior but to give you an idea my display was averaging around 14 and is now staying around 12.5 so I'm going to estimate a mile and a half per gallon. I'm making a trip down to WV whitewater rafting next week and will post what I average on the trip.
