it's a blast. I freaked yesterday at the airport driving under the garage. Antena went PING and I held my breath. The clearance changes and I travel weekly so parking there is not an alternative unless I do off airport and that adds an hour to my commute in and out.

Montey the chrome tip and spray in bed liner is looking great. We have both on our 2002 F250 V10 and I love the look. The only thing that ever starts hitting something on our truck is the radio antenna or the 2 fake antenna on the roof of the truck. What kind of BF goodrich tires do you have? I really like the TA KO's they are great tires.

Montey the KO's go on sale alot. We are waiting on a sale so we can get some for our 2002 F250. We currently have them on our 86 F150. I am pretty sure we could get ours for like $1000 out the door at discount tire but we are running 265 75 R16 being an older model then your truck. We had paid $900 out the door 2 years ago for 31 10.50 R15s. So they aren't to bad.
