    Yeah, I'll go with 8 then. That's what was on my last truck, I don't know what 10's would look like in person. Better to go with what I know I guess haha plus just slightly taller! :)

    Should not matter at all if you use the foam tape under the shell. Mine is dry as a bone and I have it rhino lined too. Just use that foam and you'll be good.

    Ran coax along firewall, behind passenger side kick panel, under door sill plate. From there there was enough room to shove it under the rear pass side panel, up under the junk catcher, and then through the hole adjacent to the rear pass seat belt anchor point into the tire iron cubby. Then out the grommet in the rear of the cab, up through the cavity in the front pass. side corner of the bed to up under the pass side bed rail. Under the bed rail there are a bunch of equally spaced holes on the lower layer of sheet metal. I threaded some zip ties between them so the coax is hidden up under the bed rail. :

    One of the sheet metal holes:

    Just waiting on my antenna mount which will go in the rear pass side corner over the tie down cleat.

    As stated above...check for frame rust! And while you're there check the rear leaf spring packs...if they're original they may be sagged like mine. That was one thing I didn't notice when I bought mine in June and now I'm footing a big bill to replace them.
