Fire,
The truck pulls the Raptor great with plenty of power to spare. Mileage on level highway can reach nearly 12 MPG but combined with hills and mountain passes its a bit above 10 MPG. My average speed is usually around 60 to 65 MPH.
I did my research on the weight limits of my truck and 5'er (went to a truck scale also) and I'm close or a just over limit. When we do put something in the garage its a Honda trail bike or two that don't weigh all that much.
Hope this helps.

Few more questions.
Much difference between the Icon shocks that come with an Icon stage 1 leveling kit and Bilsteins?
If I go with Bilsteins and the Icon leveling kit, what MFG part number am I looking for, front and back.
I know that the adjustable pan-rod bar is not necessary with such a modest lift, but are there advantages to adding it?
Thanks!
