    Welcome! Congratulations on the new truck. I HIGHLY recommend you read the welcome information that was sent to you in the Welcome Message and Learn to Use Search Feature to avoid getting flamed for asking questions that are repeatedly asked here and beaten to death like "what tire size can I fit" "what lift should I get" etc. That will help you integrate smoothly to the TW community.

    Again welcome!

    We have some of the highest wt. limits in the nation for semis, thats one rumor. Another is that the unions are so strong they control the quality of the building and materials used. Truth may be someplace in between, but in the last 2 years I have replaced 4 tires due to direct hits from these mooncraters.
