Looks good. I agree, those P-series Michelins suck

Did you use the stock springs on the bilstiens? Looks good. Mine is its twin other than I just tinted front windows and blacked out wheels.

Yes, they are the stock springs with the bilstiens. So I have been running around with the airbags at 10 psi of air, and it stiffens up the back end just enough to really feel like a truck. Overall I am very pleased. About the only thing left that I want to do is to replace the mirror with an extendable tow mirror. There are quite a few options on EBAY that are priced hundreds less than thru the dealer. Anyone done one of these swaps and have anything good or bad to report?

I just did these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K9EB4LK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1They fit fine and seem like they are going to work... mirror motors are louder than OEM. Haven't tested the heat. For $170, I'll give them a shot. I'd prefer a full height power mirror with a bubble-type blind spot mirror, but I think these will work once I get used to them.

Last 2 tank top offs = 16.2 mpg and 16.8 mpg, no towing. The previous one before the 16.2 mpg was towing my boat and showed 15.3 mpg. All in all I'm very happy with the truck,,,so far.
Hand calculated verses computer is within .1 mpg.
