    Rusting frames. One quick search of this forum to see pics of the horror on 1st & 2nd gens. I thought everyone knew about it.

    Thanks for such a great response to this thread. Anyone who has lost their truck due to frame rot (like me) the possibility of it again with the 16's is of top concern.
