    Nah, I need good road manners and my off-roading is limited to fire roads and the beach... It's basically a pavement princess/mall crawler.... I contemplated 285's but didn't want take the MPG hit or have to sort out any rubbing.

    What suspension do you have in the rear? Looks like it’s still sitting nice even with that much weight in the bed.

    I just saw your post on the speakers. Do you have the model # for these? I like to get them through Crutchfield. Thank you

    Stock leaf springs? I have been considering air bags. The Firestone bags with Daystar cradles. How do you like the bags? Would you do them again?

    My biggest concern is quality of daily unloaded ride... plus some guys are saying that airbags are a constant problem

    I'd do bags again in a heartbeat, no problems at all, close to 2 years of use I think. Truck rides great with no load, I run about 5psi when nothing is in the bed.

    DIY install took an afternoon . Firestone bags were ~$250 installed

    Unless you are doing serious rock crawling the day stars are probably overkill. However, if they were cheaper I'd put them on too.

    Bags have been around for a long time with lots of maintenance free miles. There is a bag thread on tw somewhere

    Thank you brother. You are pushing me close to the edge! I see airbags in my future.

    Checking my interior parts for damage and installing the small parts into them
    When I was at the dealer, I could see that one of the parts was wrong. He ordered a part for a truck with a bench seat, I have buckets.
    One panel won't be in 'til June. The small foam piece came in for the dashboard. I could probably do that Saturday morning before installing my lift.

    Their website indicates that, but mine were completely covered below the boot.
