I'm more than happy with them, thanks! The truck just seems to roll so much easier and smooth. Even the steering is better. I'm sure it happens with all new tires though. I at least feel good about this purchase, previously knowing and having experience with Cooper on my F-150. They never let me down. And again, so smooth, grips the road like a magnet.

Thanks man, she does look pretty good. My friend across the street is part owner of a paint and body shop, she'll be looking even better in about a month.

The guy I bought it from works on trucks on his free time, has three or four more. He said he goes to junkyards and buys upgrades for the ones he has. Both the mirrors and the running boards are from a 2010 F250 that was totalled out.

Only thing I don't like is that where you mount the rear bracket, behind the rear doors, for the running board does not match the truck, these boards being tOo long.

It'll only be myself and possibly one helper from time to time getting into the front seats so it should be okay.

the holes for the frame support are already there under the rear edge of the cab

move that rear support back to where it should be. then simply drill/tap new holes and re-bolt the steps to it. that would balance the look out IMO and make it slightly better if anyone were to step on that unsupported edge

Interesting Goodyear information, thanks for sharing.

They don't match up. The running board's bracket holes are all the way behind the cab.

On another note, I just drove to Beaumont, Tx which is 107 miles one way for work this morning. Have I mentioned how smooth these Coopers are on the road? And coupled with cruise control? Fuggedaboutit!

I LOVE MY TRUCK!! That is all.

I have two sets of teh Goodyear Wrangler Pro Series with Silent Armor, LT 265/75r16, one on a 03 Excursion and the other on a 01 F350 crewcab diesel. Love those tires.

Anyone else notice the cutout center caps on the rear? If you have a 4wd and have to manually engage, you might want to swap them back to the fronts.
