    You should do OK with them since you seem to be running stock wheels and tires.

    What did you use for the rubber bump stops? I am about to do this same thing and was planning on rolling the metal but a rubber bump stop would be way better.

    There are some really good threads on here about shell camper setups, check those out. Mine is a 4" tri-fold memory foam from Amazon.

    I prefer the bump stop as I don't like the idea of rolling the metal and having that just bounce and rub against the composite like the ones FWP make. The stoppers are from ace hardware, 1"x1-5/8".

    This happened the other day, but you gotta love living in a college town where random drunks fall into your truck. No clue who it was or when it happened, but I already filed a police report just incase for insurance. Should be able to pop it out with a plunger.

    I did this recently (and changed air filter as well) and didn't think it did anything at first, but then noticed I can go 330-340 miles between fillups, where before gas tank empties after 270-280 miles only. That's like 60 extra miles for every full tank of gas.

    Saved myself a few hundred dollars on my compass/thermometer by resoldering the board. Messy, but works!
